To the best of my knowledge, Apple had only one portable,
battery-powered Stylewriter, the Stylewriter Portable, and it was _not_
compatible with the Newton. I bought one from Shreve on their
recommendation, only to discover that it didn't work, and had to pay
their stupid 15% restocking fee... I don't know if I would risk it. The
SW and SWII and SW 1200 all work fine with the Newton, however, so no
complaints there. I used all three through the years. Still have a
1200, in fact. :-)
