[NTLK] Question about Apple branded 2mb linear flash cards

[Victor Rehorst]

It's very likely to be Intel Series II linear flash, which I don't 
believe have hardware-level wear leveling implementations.

However, the Newton OS' storage layer does apparently attempt to batch 
and distribute card writes to improve performance and flash longevity.

I found this information in the list archives, though I couldn't find a 
primary source for it in my seconds of searching.  If anyone knows where 
this is documented, please chime in.
