Don, I had a similar problem with a Newton that I bought at an auction. I fiddled and fiddled with it but couldn't get it to turn on. I gave up on it and almost gave it away then it suddenly started working. It's worked fine ever since. If you find out about a jump startprocedure let me know.

She got it from someone else and has never had any communication software working with it. I've tried downloading various things from apple.com while using a cable I have that I _thought_ would work (QuickTake 150 -> DA9 cable) but No Go. Any good resources for siphoning Newts without a Mac?

I'm not sure which model she has but if it's one with a pcmcia port, she might be able to rig up a transfer through an available modem/ethernet card and some more easily findable software... http://planetnewton.com/ is great site. but there should be pc connection kit to do this for her model. There's probably a few on ebay right now. ;) - Mike: dogas(a)bellsouth.net

go to http://newtoncage.webjump.com/ for the connection kit. Jim Davis. James Carter wrote:
