Can you identify some of the part numbers on the chips? That might help determine the exact function.

This has been one of my favourite Newton OS features since day one.

Twenty five years ago today, Apple announced the MessagePad 2100. “… the sequel to one of the most successful new products in mobile computing history”. Twenty. Five. Years. Original Press Release: Apple’s New MessagePad 2100 Offers Enhanced Performance For Today's Mobile, Information-Centric...

Over the past couple of months, we’ve been fighting with a bunch of renegade edits to the Einstein wiki. I thought that the current version of the page was cleaned up, but I should’ve checked those links prior to copying and pasting. The wiki page has been fixed and I updated the links in my...

I’ve played with it since it was first demonstration at the Worldwide Newton Conference in 2006. It doesn’t require an installer, as the current release has precompiled binaries for Windows, macOS, and Linux. https://github.com/pguyot/Einstein/wiki Matthias Melcher, one of the developers...

If you don‘t have it installed yet, there’s graphic calculator stationery for Newton Works as well. http://www.unna.org/unna/applications/NewtonWorks/wcalc.pkg Newton Works Graphing Calculator User’s Manual

These were PCMCIA adapter cards made by a Canadian company called EZShow Systems. There were two variations of the card sporting different output options, the EZ2VGA and the EZ2TV. They work with MessagePad 2x00 devices as well. https://newtonglossary.com/terms/ez2vga...

Not a hoarder, per se … but I do have a shelf full of eMates. They’re all functional, so no donors unfortunately. However, I do know of someone with a significant stash of parts and such. I’ll DM the details.

💯

BTW, the original link to that post on the MARC site is still working: https://marc.info/?l=newtontalk&m=110740915605337&w=2 Likewise, all NewtonTalk messages going back to June 2001 are also available in the official list archives: http://newtontalk.net/archive/newtontalk/2005-February/0076.html

Found it. DM your mailing address and I’ll pop it into the post for you. I checked for an extra Newton Press manual as well, but no such luck. You can get the PDF version from these fine sites: http://www.unna.org/view.php?/apple/software/NewtonPress/ForMac https://www.newted.org/manuals/

Still looking. It’s around here somewhere.

I’m pretty sure I have an extra copy of the Solution Guide (and possibly a Newton Press manual) … let me check.

The Newton platform can support colour, albeit via third party tools. For example, using an EZ2TV card, the Newton could display color images on an external monitor. http://web.archive.org/web/20091021223950/http://geocities.com/doctor_clu/EZ2TV.html

This is absolutely new to me. And I’ve been collection Apple prototypes for years. Nice nab.

Thanks for posting this. I’m going to try it with my PowerCD, which was displaying the same issue. It’s had me stumped for a couple years.

Oops. Just saw Mikeyy00’s reply regarding NCX. I’ve recently taken over management of the Newton Research site from the developer (Simon Bell) and have access to his archive of old software releases and source.

Newton Connection for Mac OS X (NCX) works over serial and ethernet under Snow Leopard and later. I can probably dig up an older version that work under Tiger and Leopard. I use an FTDI serial to USB adapter cable for both my eMates and MP2x00 devices.
