WiFi cards for Newton

NEWTON TRACKER

Apple Newton originally did not have the ability to work with WiFi cards. WiFi wireless did not exist when Newton was on the market. That’s why Apple never released its own WiFi card for Newton. However, with the popularization of the WiFi standard, several talented programmers created a driver enabling the use of WiFi PCMCIA cards with Newton. The author of the original driver is Hiroshi Noguchi. For upgrades and additional cards support we can thank to Paul Guyot.
