  1. @Luke @paperposts The smarter choice was using a supercapacitor, like Apple did with the #MessagePad 2x00 and #eMate series #Newton devices. It would hold clock related data for ages if you removed the main power or battery. Of course, user and system setting were stored in flash RAM, so you never lost that.

  6. @overlordspock @keyboards @Hawkesnest No, it’s not an Apple keyboard, because it’s a prototype #Newton #eMate 300 that used a third party keyboard for development and industrial design testing.

    Here’s the source of the image (and more details about the prototype.)

  11. As of now, you may also access the UNNA.org sites via #HTTPS in addition to standard #HTTP!

    Go ahead, try it out:

    unna.org/

    Newfangled, huh!

    Don't worry, we're not taking away the venerable HTTP connectivity, nor will we be automatically redirecting any connections to HTTPS. After all, we need to be able to connect from our #AppleNewton #MessagePad and #eMate!

  16. Designed and printed a 4 x AA NiMH battery tray for the Apple eMate. This lets me change the batteries out quickly because they're not soldered, welded, or wrapped together. The bottom of the tray is open so you can push the batteries out easily. The fit should be snug.

  21. Кроме того, я тогда же купил Lucent WaveLAN/IEEE Silver, которая, вроде как, принесёт WiFi на #eMate. Однако, для этого нужны драйвера, а для драйверов кабель и синхронизация

    Let’s play!

    #Newton #eMate

  24. My final project for #MARCHintosh 2025. Sitting on the couch downloading an app to my #Newton #eMate over wifi from my workshop server that is 5 miles away on a different zone on #globaltalk.

    Seems simple by today’s standards but that took a lot of retro tech to make it happen.

    2x LC475 (AIR routers)
    1x Original Airport Basestation
    1x clamshell iBook to setup BS
    1x rebuilt eMate battery plus eMate hinge repair
    1x PCMCIA wifi card that would support #appletalk

    That is a Mic drop for me.

  29. Cool little admin tool for #globaltalk. The only issue is that you need an #eMate or #Newton 2x00, a wifi card that can handle AppleTalk, and original Apple Airport Basestation connected to your existing GlobalTalk node. It did a good job of finding @europlus Laser printers. Thanks to @splorp for pointing me to this little gem.
