Here is the result: http://www.pda-soft.de/memorycard1.jpg http://www.pda-soft.de/memorycard2.jpg Just in case someone is inclined to find some datasheets and check if this card can be coerced into 5V/5V operation (which would make it writable in eMates), go ahead. I'll gladly give it a try, but I haven't the time right now to find out if the attempt would have any chance of success. Just in case someone wants such a card, I have still some left. Frank Frank Gruendel 2008-11-30T17:55:13 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.systems.newton.newtontalk/87545 I've been reading some of the archives including links in recent emails to the section on ethernet cards, etc. I'd really like to get wireless going with my "new to me" 2000 and 2000U. Reading Hirochi Noguchi's page, it looks like the wireless card to get would be Lucent WaveLAN/IEEE Gold which he shows in his chart. It looks like the driver to get would be " Latest Version: ver 1.08a". Would it be important to go for the 128 bit card? Does the WEP key in hexa-decimal refer to entering a sort of password?

Well, I liked it so much, I bought 2 MP2000's (one upgraded) with all the manuals, a flash card, and a modem card from the same seller on ebay. I've received a cable from JK Sales with interconnect on one end and DB9 on the other, so I'm trying to solve the connection issues. I also bought a fax modem for the MP110 for transfering data by fax. I've barely had time to do anything with the 2000's (going to give one to my child for Christmas), but I know I want to download some software. I have an old Dell with a DB9 connector, but I prefer a Powermac G4 with OSX 10.3 as my main computer. I can get a DB9 to USB converter cable to use the Mac for my Newton connection. I received all the NCU disks for both Mac and PC with the MP2000's, but I'm trying to decide whether to go with the NCX utility for OSX or partition my HD on the G4 and add OS 9. What's the better OS for working with the Newt Gregg R. Aydelotte 2008-11-28T05:06:18 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.systems.newton.newtontalk/87523 Hello, Does anyone have one of these they'd be willing to part with? If so, please let me know your asking price. Because the dongle is a small and relatively fragile item, I would ask that it be shipped in a small box. Shipping would be to the SF Bay Area and I would prefer to pay for this via PayPal. Please shoot me a mail off-list and we'll go from there.

The case just split at the SER-001, and I had it done long enough ago that J&K probably won't help. Anyone have a spare 2000 back for sale? Or the skills to replace the back and adjust the SER-001 so it doesn't split the replacement back? I am annoyed enough now to chew barbed wire and spit bullets, but that's not going to help so I won't. ==================================================================== The NewtonTalk Mailing List - http://www.newtontalk.net/ The Official Newton FAQ - http://www.splorp.com/newton/faq/ The Newton Glossary - http://www.splorp.com/newton/glossary/ WikiWikiNewt - http://tools.unna.org/wikiwikinewt/ ==================================================================== Bruce Durocher II 2008-11-25T09:30:13 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.systems.newton.newtontalk/87492 Just a note!

The drive will soon be winging its way to the good folks at Datacent for appraisal and ultimate recovery. Hopefully. The site backups and existing bits of data from the server were not as complete as I had originally thought. Yes, I do have a few significant chunks of the site available for republishing, but there are several gigabytes of personal directories and other information that remain buried on the hard drive. This is why I have decided to go ahead with the process of data recovery. For some backstory of this whole sordid affair, please refer to this previous post: http://www.newtontalk.net/archive/newtontalk.2008-02/0347.html I would also like to apologize for the radio silence.

I haven’t installed any new software for years, so I can’t blame it on that. Any ideas on how to switch them back? I just spent several hours searching here and on the web without any helpful results. I have BB Editor 1.7 installed, if that helps.

I've been Googling for a switchers guide for Windows Users to Mac OS 9 but can't find anything. Plenty for OS X. Does any one know of any resources out there?

In a fit of enthusiasm, I transferred all of my GTD projects and todos into Nitch and the Project Stationery it installs. So far so good! But I use Standalone's Super Notepad 1.87. First, this caused odd formatting in the Notepad--text / buttons appear behind SNP's arrows / etc buttons at the top of the display--with Nitch is installed. Unless Nitch is loaded after SNP (i.e. freeze Nitch, reset, thaw Nitch = beautiful Notepad display back)--so, a workaround. Secondly and a little more disturbingly, I was unable to access one of my Nitch projects (in the Projects folder, which I've got Nitch watching). I could see it in the overview, but if I tapped its title there, I arrived at an adjacent note. Scrolling brought me to the note on its other side. Moving the notes adjacent to it, using SNP's Move Note function, simply changed which two adjacent notes I saw. Fearing data corruption, I deleted the offending project and restored it from a text-only X-Port (whi Mr Jonathan Dueck 2008-11-22T04:15:14 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.systems.newton.newtontalk/87455 Greetings list, I just acquired a MP 130 - and am having some difficulty getting it to work properly. Here are a couple of issues I've been having: I have been able to load a couple of packages using NCX but it seems now every time I try to open "Connection" it give me this message: "Sorry, a problem has occurred. (77) " I had loaded up Avi's Backdrop and made it the default background but every time I tried to open the recent package menu, it gave me the same error. In fact, pretty much every package I try to use gives me the same one. I've seen a couple of others, but of course now that I have my 130 next to me it won't do it. :) Am I in deep trouble or is this something which can be remedied? I looked up this "77" on the Newton Error Code list but found nothing. On the same subject, if it comes down to it, how do I perform a brain wipe and start over? Is it the same way as on the MP 2x00? Thanks for your time, Scot Scott Hoffman 2008-11-21T18:53:12 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.systems.newton.newtontalk/87450 You can use a fairly low bit-rate (It's actually prefereable) and get a?decent-sounding MP3 file for your Newton.
