Dear WAMUGgers
I am the proud owner of an eMate 300 which I "won" on eBay, delivered
from Colorado USA by pony express, clippership and camel train. It came
with no power supply or manual, which I was aware of when I bid. Does
anyone know where I could get a suitable charger and manual (I'll
search the web for manual)? It has what appears to be a standard power
charger plug, (not the fat ones from iBooks etc), rated at 7.5v 1.2A Max.
It's a beaut little greeny bluey aqua beastie, looking like a cross
between a baby clamshell iBook and a sea slug! Exciting!

OK if you go to Altronics in Perth (roe St Northbridge)
You will need the following:
1x M9165 which is a plug for a plug pack (it adapts the pin socket on
the plug pack to the emate 300 / newton)
1x M8980 This is the powersupply, and it needs to be set to 7.5Vdc via
the small rotary switch (which faces the wall when plugged in)

The tip needs to be set up for center positive.
http://www.chuma.org/newton/faq/newton-faq-hardware.html#IIB7 is a link
to a great fac on these products.
The above parts excluding postage is $34, but I would check with
Altronics to make sure that the powersupply does not include the M9165
adapter first (it comes with 6 adapters, but I am not sure which 6 ;)

Kat.
