Okay, I'm ready to do a reset and rebuild my Newton 2000u. I know I should
back up...twice, if not three times. But, I wanted to know if there are any
tips the List can offer me.
Also, where can I go for the latest software upgrades and versions for the
Newton?
Thanks!

I hope the following suggestion help.
You'll need to use NCU. Allocate enough memory (2 x store size) for NCU. This is the procedure.
1. Unmount and remove your card.
2. Backup Internal.
3. Make a copy of Internal and place it outside of the Backup Folder. This is your first generation internal backup.
4. Now insert Card and let it mount.
5. Backup through NCU with a copy of your Internal in the backup folder.
6. NCU now allows you to select Internal or Card. Select Card and backup.
7. Replace Internal backup in backup folder with the first generation Internal backup. You'll be warned that you're replacing a newer version. Ignore.
8. Next, hard reset Internal with Card removed.
9. Restore Internal.
10. Erase Card.
11. Restore Card.
Now enjoy your tip top Newton that has just been given a new lease of life and some additional space recovered. That's it!
