Only if you try to charge LiIon batteries for the 3400 in it.

I use a 5300c (a little more RAM in mine, but I've used other PowerBooks
in the 5300 series with roughly the same specs as yours) and it gets along
fine with my Newton 2100.

How, exactly, are you trying to connect?
Are you using a serial cable?
If you're using a serial cable (use a Mac printer cable or the cable
that came with the Newton) you'll want to connect via serial not AppleTalk.
Are you using phoneNet or LocalTalk cables?
Then you can use AppleTalk.
