Hi,
I decided to revert the Newton to its original state.
In the past months I played with it installing and removing many
packages.
Now I have some of them which I am not sure of...
Do they belong to the OS, to a removed package or to an existing one?
As I understood a good way to revert the Newton OS to default state is
to perform a Hard Reset.

If I understood well I should:
- remove all the PCMCIA cards
- push the reset button on the back of the Newton
- while keeping pressed the reset button slide the power button to the
on position and keep it there.
- After a couple of seconds release the reset button
- I should get a message asking "Do you want to erase data completely?"
- Tap Yes

Is it correct or should I follow another way?

Thanks for the information.

Michael
