I don't know. It was charging, and a few days later, I turned my
Newton on to do some conversions, and got a low battery warning. I
tried the charger on several Newtons, and it doesn't work. I don't
know what I might have done to it. The cable could have been broken
inside, but I haven't tested that (need to cut the cable to do that.)
:-)

I have a AA adapter somewhere, but can't find it. The kids use normal
nimh AAs in their Newtons (120 and a 130), so it's not so important
for them, but mine has the battery pack. Shame to go to nimh AAs in
the 2100 and 2000...
