Old serial versions of MOTU's MIDI Timepiece/Express are a dime a dozen on eBay.

Figured that since I've been expanding my collection of all-things vintage Macintosh, I might as well keep it all in one place. (click thumbnails for bigger pics) Here's the latest: Newton Charging Station for my MP120 Adobe Acrobat 4.0 complete in box: Shiva NetModem (New...

Yes, with the LocalTalk Option card.

They made practically a million of them. They were extremely popular in schools. Nowadays, however, they're becoming fairly uncommon. As with all older technology, a lot of it has been thrown away/recycled by now.

The latest facet of my Apple collection. Most of these came from ex-dealers. The last one isn't an official Apple poster, but got it cause I thought it looked cool. Only the 8.5 poster is on the wall, but the rest are framed and ready to be hung.

As far as OS 9 and lower goes, Timbuktu is infinitely more stable than VNC.

Nope, doesn't appear to have ever used a PCMCIA card. Still has the "placeholder" in the slot. Thanks for the link

Just got my first MessagePad, and only my second Newton product (eMate 300 - I wonder where that thing went?!) This particular one caught my eye because it has an early version of UPS TrackPad on it. I work for UPS and have never heard of this software myself. Apparently TrackPad still exists...

Definitely not my area of expertise. I don't know a thing about soldering. I'll keep the board, though.

Looks like I'll have to get a replacement logic board then. Gah.

This god damn machine is driving me crazy. I got my refurbished PSU back from Uniserver recently. Back in 2013 he also recapped the logic board. No dice. Machine only stays powered on when power button is "locked" or keyboard power is held down. No chime, no video, no hard drive spin up. Green...
