The Radio Shack I went to had both kinds of Mono I think. I believe
that the one with two lines in would always be "on" whereas the one
with thee lines in was where you could cut it into the two speaker
wires such that when you inserted a headphone plug it would mute the
speaker (i.e. turn it off) and when you removed the headphone plug the
speaker would come back on. Make sense? I believe that the headphone
jack was labeled to indicate that, but i can't remember the wording.

Otherwise, If I use the two pin mono jack, then plugging in the
headphones would not mute the speaker, but split the power between
both headphone and speaker. Although I guess I could wire the two
terminal headphone jack via the Line out, but I'd prefer to get stereo
if the Newton supports it, and wanted to make sure before I started
tinkering on either of my "good" Newtons.

Thanks,

George
