  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.

  12. Update: I found it!

    Attention #AppleNewton users … does anyone happen to have a copy of Enfour’s Japanese Newton Language Kit (NLK)?

    It was made available to #MessagePad owners running the Japanese version of #NewtonOS.

    Not sure if was a download of on CD. Even an exported copy of the packages would suffice.

    Boosts welcome.

  13. 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!

  24. To test the latest prerelease version of Newton Connection (NCX), I’m attempting to dump the ROM of my #MessagePad 2100 onto my M4 MacBook Pro over a Newton Interconnect to DIN-8 serial to USB-A to USB-C cable and dongle train.

    As one does.

  25. Look what I discovered… I’m sure a lot of you know about this, but if not…

  26. Elias Basse is working on a 3D-printed replacement battery pack for @AppleNewton #MessagePad 2x00 devices with integrated USB-C charging.

  27. Today was a good day for #AppleNewton acquisition … three boxes of #MessagePad goodies from a longtime Newton user. I’m going to inventory and document the new additions for the quiver and hopefully distribute multiple items to the community. A huge thanks to Claus for his generosity.

  28. Revisiting the 3D printed Newton MessagePad 2x00 battery tray. The metal battery springs were just too much for the PLA to handle and it started to split.

    So I came up with this idea from a previous print: use heat shrink tubing as a spring. It's flexible enough and provides just the right amount of spring. Wrap copper foil tape around to bridge the two. Working great! If it gives out, simply replace it.
