Hi Noah,

On UNNA there is documentation about it: http://www.unna.org/unna/apple/documentation/n2platform/n2-padg.pdf <http://www.unna.org/unna/apple/documentation/n2platform/n2-padg.pdf>

There is even more info about the other system components in N2 Platform folder: http://www.unna.org/view.php?/apple/documentation/n2platform <http://www.unna.org/view.php?/apple/documentation/n2platform>

If I only could understand that…


Cheers,
Pawel

If that’s the case, it should be possible to build a small, inexpensive device which sits in between the adapter and the newton and regulates the voltage (and maybe the current?). Has anyone got deeper knowledge of the Newton power system who could maybe tell me if this is a good idea, and what specifications we should shoot for to adapt an adapter?
