Re: [NTLK] Error code 77 and other MP 130 fun

Here's today's issue... got it reset and removed the storage card.
Seemed to work fine. Issue
must have been one of the packages I'd installed on it.

Installed the Serial115200 package using NewTen and got it set up to
connect using NCX.
Tried to browse for packages to install on the Newton end and it
froze. Nothing seemed to
get it "un-frozen" so I had to pull the battery. Newt won't power on
now... not using batteries,
not using AC adapter, not using battery booster pack... so I've
removed the "AA" batteries
and am going to leave it a while... will try later to reset.

       I don't know if it's my timing or what but the simple act of
resetting the thing seems to be
more difficult than the instructions reveal... I press reset and hold
it, turn power switch on,
and release the reset button after a couple of seconds. Doesn't seem
to work as smoothly
as it should. Works fine on my MP 120B.

      More to come. Thanks for your time.
