Yes, the eMate should run without a battery pack. A few things to check: Are you using an original Newton AC adapter? The correct voltage and current rating is important. It’s possible that the display cable has been damaged by a broken spring in the display hinge. Does the display make any...

On a somewhat related note, here’s a link to my Stowaway Keyboard Project (via the Internet Archive), in which several Newtonheads decided it was a good idea to connect a Stowaway foldable keyboard to the Newton. (At some point, I’ll rebuild the contents of the page on my live site.) In the...

Oh, I will definitely be mentioning this article on the NewtonTalk mailing list and the tweeter. Great sleuthing @Admiral Shark!

This is a lovely sight to behold.

What a great tool! And I love the straightforward UI. Well done. My only niggle is that it won’t run under High Sierra. 😶

I’ve always stuck with the classics, like Newtris or Deep Green.

Not yet. Something I plan on doing this week, though.

Thanks for sharing this … I’m wondering if this is the same reason my TechStep doesn’t power up?

There were a few commercial stands available “back in the day” … I use an “Executive” stand for my Newton web server. (similar to the stand in the 1st photo below) Other folks have repurposed book display stands. (2nd photo) Pawel Piotrowski created his own stand out of Lego. (3rd photo)

I’m sure that Morgan would appreciate having another active mirror for the UNNA contents.

You’ve got me thinking that I should get my NPDS server back up and running. It used to have a dedicated static IP address up until a year or so ago. Now I need to tinker with dynamic DNS and port forwarding to get the outside world to see it.

Hey, Alex. Unfortunately, there really isn’t a single page that explains all of the ins and outs of setting up an NPDS server. (This is something that the NPDS community has been wanting to do for years.) The original documentation on the NPDS site is a bit dated, but still valid. Truth be...

As list dad of the NewtonTalk mailing list, I can’t recall anyone reporting that they bricked their eMate (or German MP2x00) when installing the Y2010 patch since it was released. FWIW, I have a hunch that the warning on that page is a leftover from when Eckhart was still in the process of...

Woo hoo! Happy to help.

You’re very welcome, of course.
