I recently purchased a simple Technology 1M pcmcia memory card from 
Fry's Electronics in Palo Alto, CA, for $129.  Great deal, I thought.
When I inserted and formatted the card, it showed only 513K avaiable.
I went back and tried several other of the same card with the same
results.  They took one of the cards and formatted it in a Newton
and it was OK.  What's the deal?  I talked with the technical support
people (Bill) at ST and he figured it was a bad card at first.  He
was mystified when I called him back about all the cards I tried.  I
haven't tried any other cards.  I returned this one.

Any clues?   Thanks,  Hal
