Congrats on getting NCX working! I haven't tried it with a serial connection, but it did work for me over Ethernet ...hmm, two years ago. Hopefully it still does.
For a spreadsheet for Newton Works you want Quick Figure Works. I think it's not part of the system R OM, but was included on the...
Wow that's really great! Thanks for doing the test and reporting back. Also thank you for all your tips. I probably won't get around to working on the eMate for ...awhile, but I have this bookmarked for future reference.
What a happy looking eMate!
I'm very curious about doing this myself, but have been a little wary about buying and soldering batteries. How is the battery life? Any tips you think are important to follow?
I have a physical copy of the manual, but I don't have any way of actually scanning it. Pages 71-102 cover the last page of the desk accessory tutorial, how to use the text editor and settings, and the start of the Project window. I think most of that you could figure out by referencing the...
It's pretty cool, they made the ROM forward compatible. I don't know how the ROM works in depth, but i assume the System Software is calling mouse routines and whatnot in the ROM that then call the ADB Manager. Key Caps shows the original keyboard, but everything lights up, and stuff like the...
Yes I can confirm that my SE FDHD works with early system software. I found an image of System 0.97 with Finder 1.0, copied it to an 800k floppy formatted Single Sided, and it booted right up from the internal drive. I don't think there are any compatibility issues with the SWIM SE.
I don't...
I have an SE FDHD and I have booted it into System 1.0 running via Floppy Emu before. I can test it today on a real floppy to verify, but I'm pretty sure the SWIM and the newer ROM work fine with old System Software.
It really stood out to me in the original recording too. So much so that I dug out my SE and ran Tetris on it to verify. I noticed you were running System 7 and I wonder if there's a background task causing the stuttering.
On my SE with 2.5 megs of memory, running System 6.0.8 without Multi...
I haven't tried it, but it looks like the app Now Hear This might be able to open System 7 sound files in System 6. https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/now-hear

I'm not sure what the functions of each pin are. I can guess that the...
I have an SE/30 Full Page Display board that i haven't gotten to work yet, but it did come with the external connector bracket. Does you ribbon cable and connector look like this?
Let me see if i can trace the wires...
I have one that is bent in the exact same way. One is straight, the other bent. Was thinking about heating it up and gently bending it back. Or, if it snaps off, using epoxy to reattach in the right position.
This is such a cool project. My SE and I are looking forward to it as well. It would be cute to make a little badge that fits in the front panel like the old contemporary accelerators did.
