Re: [NTLK] newbie emate questions

I don't think that these resets are to be expected. Unfortunately the
eMate will report pressing of the power button as a loss of power and
I think other system resets are reported as loss of power.
One of the reasons that a Newton may reset itself is exceeding the
system memory.
Install Frank's NewtTest <http://www.pda-soft.de/newttest.html> or
Avi's backdrop <http://www.unna.org/view.php?/applications/backdrops/AvisBackdrop
>
These will help keep track of heap/system ram usage
Install something like Extras Extras
<http://www.unna.org/view.php?/utilites/system_enhancements/Extra-
Extras>
so you can freeze unused or suspect apps
I see Ron responded specifically to your question but these tips may
be useful to you or others.
Try freezing the ATA driver and see if it works better.
