The problem here is that there are reasons why the package requires NOS 2.1:
the ROMs that are found in the NOS 2.1-based Newtons. So, I don't think it
would make you any good even if you were able to fool the package in
believing it's running on a 2100 when it's actually on a 130...

This is really a bummer, I have been planning usage scenario's for my little
preciouses and the MP 130 needed to have Ethernet. So, instead of acquiring
another MP 130, it looks like I'm going to have to purchase another 2100.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not really complaining - it's just that the charging
base is really handy for mounting the MP 130 into my truck.
I'll have to look at making a mold for the MP 2100, anyone out there have a
shell they would like to loan to me for this purpose? I can't guarantee that
it won't have resin impregnated into it, so I'm looking for a MP 2100 that
has passed on in life.
