I recently got a Newton MessagePad 2000 in nice shape for a very low price. However, the reason the cost was so low is the fact that it does not have a battery or an Interconnect dongle. I was wondering if there is an alternate way to get things on the Newton and use it as a tablet, that costs almost nothing.
I found an OS9 app called "IRDA Package Installer". Does anyone know if I can use that to install ethernet drivers for a PC Card? If so, I may try and get an old PowerBook to sync to it. (I kind of want one anyways, as I found the disks for Alpha Centauri in my attic - but it is horrible under SheepShaver)
I also found a .STL file for a 3D printable battery tray. Has anyone tried that?
Thanks.
