It’s a single unit, AFAIK. Not to my knowledge. However, I did find another MP2x00 disassembly walkthrough on the iFixIt site. https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Apple+Tablet+Teardown/2153

You’re welcome! If it does turn out to be a damaged display, I have a few sources for replacement parts that I can share,

The screen may not need to be replaced. This is more likely due to the display connector becoming unseated from the main board, or as you mentioned, the connector being damaged due to “tinkering”. Frank Gründel has published a number of disassembly and repairs guides for various Newton models...

Our pal @androda makes an internal serial board for the MP2000/2100 as well. Unfortunately, it’s out of stock at the moment, but I can vouch for it’s quality. https://androda.work/product/newton-internal-serial-for-2000-2100/ Based on my own experience, I wouldn’t touch Newton Sales with a...

Whew.

I can vouch for the use of isopropyl alcohol to help remove most of the stickiness from those Newton cases. It works 90% of time, based on my experience. If you can’t locate the keyboard or power adapters, let me know. I have a number of spares that I can send to a new home for a decent price...

Not rare (at least compared to some other Newton software titles). I have a couple of these cards in my collection. Here’s a good post about the game with a bunch of screenshots. http://myapplenewton.blogspot.com/2010/02/columbos-mystery-capers.html

Here’s the link to the High Sierra 10.13.2 download from the Apple Support pages. https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1946?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US The 10.13.6 download is available in the App Store. https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/macos-high-sierra/id1246284741?mt=12

Also, digging through my archives I found the beta versions of Evolution 2.0.3 … which was never released publicly. I’ll need to check for the release notes to determine what was changed or fixed in that version.

This was mostly 1990–1991, during The Font Wars. The basic timeline for the Evolution product: Q2 1990 — A beta version of Evolution was used to convert the Type 3 fonts in the Image Club Typeface Library to Type 1 format. Q3 1990 — Evolution 1.0 is released. Q3 1990 — FontConvert 1.0, a...

I’ll zip up a disk image and DM you, if that works.

I worked at Image Club Graphics when we developed Evolution. I wrote the user manual, handled tech support, and designed the interface/packaging/icons. In fact, I even managed to keep a copy of the source code safe and sound … it’s around here somewhere … Macintosh Garden only has version 1.0...

I have my own fuzzy floppy drive to share. This one came out of a IIcx. Looks like critters were nesting in there.

Woo! This is great. Making a note to add this to the Newton FAQ.

Thanks for the link, @Juror22 … this has been a lost bit of information for quite a while. Hey, @Huxley … let me know if this script works for you. I haven’t had a chance to load PT100 onto a Newton yet to try it myself.

As mentioned on the tweeter, the Newton Keyboard does not require drivers. The suggestion regarding a broken trace in that earlier thread is interesting, but I find it hard to believe that the same circuit board issue would happen to so many keyboards. I think the failing capacitor or dirty...

I’m interested in four units, please … and thank you. Been looking for something like this for a very long time.
