Overview:
SoftCharge
is a small Newton program that allows a easy selection of the type of
battery installed in your Newton. If you are using rechargeables in
your battery holder you always will get wrong capacity readings. Not so
with SoftCharge.
Select between:
batteries.
If you insert a AkkuPack (either modified battery holder or a original APPLE product), the Newton always recognizes a NiMh battery type, no matter what you select (and it's OK this way!). Remember that SoftCharge doesn't help you in charging batteries in your Newton. You still need a modified battery holder to charge inside the Newton. But it is of great help if charging batteries in a charging station.
System requirements:
Nick's SoftCharge requires Newton OS 2.0 or higher and a MP2x00
Nick's SoWoSamma was tested on a MP 2000.
Installation:
Install the application by using your Connection Kit or other package downloader. Read the documentation for more instructions on how to install packages.
Configuration:
Once the SoftCharge.pkg has been downloaded to your Newton, setup is extremely easy.
Version history:
V 1.0 -> V1.1
