No chance. The 130 has a different processor, ASIC, display, ...
you name it. Apart from that, the 2x00 / eMate ROM boards are too large.
The connector is different, and so on, and so on.

The ac adapter will work. All Newton / eMate adapters work with all
Newton / eMate
models. The charging cradle can only charge MP110 / 120 / 130 packs.

The 130 stylus doesn't fit into the 2x00 / eMate and vice versa.
However, the
plastic model of the 2x00 stylus can be had for next to nothing. Drop me
a
line if you buy a 2x00 or eMate without a stylus. I'd trade 5 new ones
for
your 130 stylus.
