What is the largest flash memory for newton mp2000?

Hi,

just wondering what the largets flash memory for the Newton is?

I have come across some websites which state that you can have up more than 4Gb+. Would this be seen by my Newton MP2000?

cheers

You can certainly have more than 4Mb flash memory. 2x00's can IIRC accept up to 32Mb in one of the PCMCIA slots. 20Mb is quite a common and useful size, and is what I use.
Larger sizes can be used but you need special drivers: http://tools.unna.org/wikiwikinewt/index.php/FlashCards gives the info.

Hello! This is KnowledgeNavigator from NewtonSales.com (newton sales website). The largest amount of memory on the Newton 2000 and 2100 is actually several gigabytes! with the assistance of a driver written by the owner of Kallysis.com you can use standard ATA cards with your Newton and I have seen these in 1gb, 2gb, 4gb sizes. In terms of memory that was designed for the Apple Newton 2000 and Apple Newton 2100 wihtout the need for special drivers, you are looking at Flash Cards. I have in stock the 16mb, 20mb, and 32mb Flash cards at my website. With any larger memory card purchase I preload wifi, bluetooth, ethernet drivers as well as games, utilities, and other very useful programs onto the card before shipping. My website is a one-stop-shop for a 100% support solution for the Apple Newton. I have been an avid user of the platform for over 7 years now. If you have any questions please contact me.
