I have just bought one on e-bay. Once it arrives I will check. I assume
that chances a pretty slim though. Even when it is recognised. What do
you do then. You would need some software to interface with it.

"Daniel Padilla" <dproldan_at_telefonica.net> used one recently in
connection with a newt, but I think he only used the newton as a modem
bridge. I don't think he actually put it in his Newton.
