Yesnomaybe. :-) Someone's been working on wireless drivers for the Newt, and I'd assume they'll work with the Lucent cards, BUT the only Newton models that can run an ethernet network connection are the 2000 and perhaps the eMate models. http://www.deleet.de/ray/newton/802.11b-FAQ.html > i dont know any 1 out there know? since i dont know much about the newton > also whats a good model of the newton i was looking on ebay and saw a 120 > and 130 model whats the diffenerce?????? Between a 120 and a 130: 130 has backlighting (big diff) 130 has more RAM (2.5 MB vs 1 for the original 120, and 2 for the upgraded one) 130 has Newt OS 2, about half or more of the 120's have 1.3, and it takes a hardare ROM upgrade to fix that. 2.0 is a real tight squeeze on the 120's because of the memory issue, but you need 2.0 to run the Newton Internet Enabler, which lets you use things like web browsers, etc. A good place to start for all things Newton is: http://www.chuma.org/newton/ the different models are laid out here: http://www.chuma.org/newton/faq/newton-faq-hardware.html#IIA1 If I were looking for a Newton today, I'd look for a 2000 or 2100 model, much MUCH better (Bigger screen, 161 MHZ processor vs 20, 5 or 8 mb ram instead of 2.5 and far more compatible with stuff.) -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
