[NTLK] eMate 300 charger

[Pawel Piotrowski]

Can anyone explain me that document, please? http://www.unna.org/unna/apple/documentation/n2platform/n2-padg.pdf

1. Following this grap from page 2, can I power Newton from 3V power adapter and Newton will work?
2.I can understand that Newton need current limitation to 1.3A, but why on 5V level that must be between 1.1-1.3A? Why the current at this level can’t be lower?
3. Can I use constant voltage/constant current (something like this: https://ebay.us/WSPeep, set to 5V and 1.2A on output) to power Newton via power adapter socket by using USB power bank as a power source? (

Cheers,
Pawel
