If I had to have something done that I couldn't do myself Frank's the

Hm, Adriano definitely another person who's added much functionality
for the Newton Community with such great ingenuity! I want one of his
NewtUSB's too...

Either power adapter are useable on either MP2100 and eMate 300. The
only difference is that 110 adapter will charge the batteries
slower... The MP2100 power adapter is the same one that came standard
with the eMate 300.

IIRC when I tested the ATA Driver from Paul the card it did allow the
use of cards between the two machine since that was the only card
that I could use that was writeable before I purchased PCMCIA Flash
Cards that were 5v read/write.

I HTH answer your queries Jon.
