just out of curiosity, if you use a non apple DC adapter to power a
newton, how easy i it to destroy your newton?
i might be getting a new battery of ebay but no charger and, while im
doing fine with my battery cage, it would be nice for it to be more
than just a paperweight. the problem is, newton stuff is exceedingly
rare in Northern ireland, so ill have to go wiht a third party one
(alough my work experience at the new mac shop next week will give me a
chance to do some recon on getting parts from apple).
eg, what if all the numbers are right, but have the wrong tip polarity?
do you have a fraction of a second before the newt flambees itself, or
would it take a prolonged go to damage it?
