Actually I only use original PCMCIA Flash cards and not Paul's ATA driver in
conjunction with more current memory types.
As far as the Newton is concerned the 4meg and larger cards are perfectly
large enough to handle what I do. I have created "virtual" Newton's by
configuring individual 4meg cards to do specific tasks. i.e. - I have one
card for WIFI Ethernet and such, one for my Restaurant Reviews, and another
for GPS activities (although I don't have a GPS card yet). I leave my common
apps internally like Dashboard.

Hi Paul,
Thanks for the answer. SD are supported by the famous "ATA driver" I
suppose and not natively by Newt OS.
What about the PCMCIA adapter that you are using (brand/no name)?
It'll be in evidence your recommandation about SanDisk vs Panasonic SD!
Thanks
Tommaso
