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.

The bottom of this page has some additional information regarding “blowing away” eMate system patches and the odd 2.2 ROM versioning. Stephanie’s Other eMate Hardware Hacks

Yes, indeed! See you in the DMs.

In other news, I just realized why I never got very far tinkering with my TechSteps … they all came with 240v adapters and I didn’t get around to digging a compatible 120v version out of my bins. For completeness sake, does anybody have a spare 120v TechStep adapter to trade for a 240v?

I hadn’t looked at my copies of volume 2 and 3 for a very long time and this discussion got me wondering if they were water damaged as well … fortunately, they’re in near perfect condition. Whew.

And all members would be assigned their retro AppleLink address. RappleLink™ … as it were.

We’ve all smelled that smell, unfortunately.

No worries.

Personally, I thrive on stupid questions. And convoluted answers, for that matter. Welcome!
