Re: [NTLK] Dead CF Card

It's really no big deal. I had assumed that given all the hurdles and

In addition, the card itself is a "flash" card and not the more common "Compact Flash" cards and, again, cannot be read on a PC or Mac. This has come up from time to time on the list. Try doing a list search for more information. The only way I know to test the card is to try it in another Newton to eliminate the Newton itself as the problem. Past that, your data is probably toast.
