Cursing Luck

Ok, I guess I asked for it.

Changing the wireless card on the Newton I use most often seems to have bent pin 68 on the PCMCIA slots. This seems to mean that every time I remove a card from the slot, the Newton reboots. Not very friendly behaviour !

I suspect the reboot is because pin 68 is a ground, although I could be wrong. The PCMCIA to Compact Flash adapter doesn't seem to care, although since CF is only 50 pins rather than 68 maybe the duff pin isn't used ?

I think I've narrowed it down to a Linksys card, so I guess that card is going in the bin ! Then I'll have to work out what I can do about bent pins...
