Hi,

A while ago leibag28 suggested using Newton Flash as extra memory for an A600.

http://www.amiga.org/forums/showthread.php?t=14063

But using flash as ram will not improve write accesses IMHO. Nor will it improve durability.

Is this Newton Flash different than other flash?

Does anyone know a good source of PCMCIA SRAM?
I only come about stores that sell 2MB for big €€€€.
Seems to me these cards are as rare as any A600 expantion orher than chipram addons.

I once bought such a PCMCIA-card for the Newton with the idea to use it in an A600.
It simply didn`t work at all neither as RAM nor as drive. The card itself was fine as it was recognised by my 68k Powerbook just fine.

PCMCIA SRAM is still very expensive when sold at specialty hardware shops new. I found mine on eBay for $25. I'd stay away from anything that says Flash. I've tried several Flash cards and have never found one that works.
