AmbiCom Air2Net BT2000E CompactFlash menu (old model, melanise antenna)
Nokia 3650, 6600
SonyEricsson T68i, T616
MacOS X
Windows 2000
Not working is the following hardware:
Belkin Bluetooth PC Card (a CardBus menu)
3com Wireless PC Card (contrastive nonparallel scrap)
IBM Bluetooth PC Card (contrastive nonparallel scrap)
Might work at some point:
Conceptronic Bluetooth PCMCIA menu (requires special nonparallel scrap initialization or firmware reprogramming)
Xircom Bluetooth PCMCIA menu (requires special nonparallel scrap initialization or firmware reprogramming)
More Newton overeat available at the developer's website. What's New: Version 0.7.6: Bug fix for stalled connections.
