Yup, it's the right one, I have the 120 & 130 and compared the electrical
requirements of the 2100 and noticed that I needed to buy the unit made for
the 2100. Which is where all this started; I just received the adapter
yesterday.

I noticed the same problem with my MP 2100. Turns out the AC adapter was
originally intended for an earlier Newton MP, and it kicks out slightly less

voltage and amperage. The good news is that if I plug in my MP 2100 and
leave it
turned off for a bit, the Ac adapter will still "trickle charge" the
battery.
