No. Newton Cards cannot be used by a PowerBook with the PCMCIA module. The PowerBook 500 series with PCMCIA modules do not recognize cards other than those following the ATA standard. Newton cards do not follow this standard. Newton Cards and other non-ATA standard cards would only show up as "unrecognized card" with no option to format. There is no driver support on either the Newton side or the Macintosh side for partitioning a PCMCIA card.
