Nice work! Two very popular 68k Macs!

My eMates arrived yesterday (same eBay auction that everyone else in Australia used I think). I got numbers 20 and 26 so I guess there must have been an entire classroom's worth of these in the mid 90s. Both came in original boxes with manuals, CD and power adapter. Both units have loose...

Just got a message from my wife - a box has arrived! Should be my two eMates.

Wow - I completely missed this post.... I'll set myself up with a Mac at home tonight and see if I can get online and play. Thanks for the effort!

Nice work - well done.

I picked up two as well - a veritable Australian eMate revolution!

Nice work - good to see another Newton alive and kicking. Do you have the vinyl slip case for it?

I got mine from eBay. It's the CD version.

I'll see what I can dig up at home tonight :)

I have a few Newtons - what do you want to know? There are many good websites out there (even the wikipedia article is good). Here is a link to get you started.

This sounds like a great idea. Count me in if you get a net game going.

Do any other cards work in the PC slot? The H1000 / OMP never came with a backlight as far as I know.

How did you end up going with this project?

Is it ticking?

Nice work - the LCs are pretty cool machines and those LaserWriters are almost bulletproof. Let us know what the LC expansion card is.

Neat work!

I forgot to mention that I also got the remote. I agree regarding the modem - I'll stash it away in the collection but it is practically useless for me now. A CSII ethernet card will get it on the web nicely.

Cheers! Yep - got the black keyboard and 2 mice. I actually already has a set which is fortunate because both the mice are broken (although I "may" be able to repair them). Yeah - as far as black Macs go I guess these are the easiest to obtain in Australia.

I know how you feel. Newton eMates are everywhere on eBay US yet rarely show up here in Australia. Regarding the 5400 DE, I'm planning on upgrading the RAM (it currently has 56MB) and perhaps installing a bigger HDD. Then I think I will have to add an ethernet card.

Picked this up from eBay (AU) for $11 pickup. The Directors Edition is the black one. Came with AV card and TV card. Seems to work OK although a fresh OS install won't hurt it. Came with the obligatory 2 ZIP drives and a whole bunch of software...
