WITH shaking hands i checked and sure enuff i have had a 32 mb pretec card in my beloved newton for sumtime now. i have done numerous reboots with my cards inside and sum valuable info on that same card. i am now a tad scared about what i have just read since until now i was feeling secure in the fact that my newton could die but i could save all my info on the cards. dreams shattering slowly as i now have to wonder what is the best plan of action from this point. of course the words backup can be screamed but we all know backing up on a pc is questionable at times. so now i can lose my info either on the card or on my newton what choices do i have now?

Hmm I remember that now that you mention it. The same is in the 120 or 130
manual. That is why I never bothered to take them out except when hard
reseting (not to mention I always thought that the newt *might* erase the
card as well as the internal).
Perhaps some cards are different than others? Most of the cards I have are
Apple branded, although I do have a couple of others and I know I have reset
with those in place and no problems. But I have never used any pretec cards
though.
