[NTLK] MP 2100 time and date

[Woody Smith]

Unlike the eMate the 2100 usually does a pretty good job of accurately  
reporting power interruption.  Since you are using a battery sled I  
suspect that your Neg. contact has lost some of its spring or is  
slightly corroded.  If the tray pops out easily when released then  
suspect corrosion.  Clean all contacts on sled and inside the Newt.

I've also had resets occur when using ATA cards but I don't recall the  
error message.

Good luck

Woody
