    It was an honour to be part of this film. Noah did a great job pulling together so many different people involved with the Newton.

    Web browser for Intel OS X

    Very nice. Works great under High Sierra. Will be doing some testing on my older systems as well. Only spotted one small rendering glitch so far. The text overlay in the search box of GitHub’s beta global navigation is a bit wonky.

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

    Einstein, the NewtonOS Emulator

    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...

    Einstein, the NewtonOS Emulator

    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...

    eMate ROM question

    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...

    Picked up an Apple Newton eMate 300! 😃

    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/

    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
