I took some pictures of the H1000, and the Getting Started card. Upon examining the PC slot, I noticed that there is a small piece of thread caught in between some of the pins. Perhaps this is the reason why the H1000 is not recognizing the card.

B) that there is a switch that locks some PCMCIA cards so that they cannot be overwritten. My memory cards do not have any such switch, but you would expect an application card to have it. It is possible, I suppose, that Apple designed the introductory card so as never to be overwritten (i.e., with the switch permanently on LOCK), but more likely, you need to check for a switch. That would be a start.

There is a lock on the side of the H1000 that "locks" the PC card firmly into the slot. There's no battery, or any physical lock on the card itself.

For more information, I would go to the Newtontalk mailing list archives. There's not a tremendous amount of Newton expertise here, and in general, you want to find out what the real zealots say if the goal is to use one of the first Newtons, since they were not much liked and tend to be overlooked models.

I will look into the other sites you mentioned. Thanks for the links.

It that fails, well, I do have to come up to Toronto sometime..

Please, do pass by. If not to Toronto, then Brampton. I'll prepare a nice Espresso; none of that "Mangia cake" Tim Hortons nonsense that many people are accustomed to consuming. :beige:
