I have used Courier with some success on a 2100 (pictures to come in another thread). Newtscape has also been recommended. http://www.40hz.org/Courier/

Speed is not too bad actually. I was expecting it to be terrible. Rendering is OK - didn't go to many pages apart from Google etc. I think it must automatically ignore most images. I will try a few more pages (and maybe try posting here from it) soon and post some pictures.

I found this link quite useful (it is what I followed). Sites like UNNA (for software) and NewtonTalk (mailing list) are also good. There is quite a wealth of information out there. Cheers [:)] ]'>

I finally got my Newton 2100 on the web (using a 3Com 3C589D Ethernet card). I have installed Courier and it works well - what browsers do other people use and/or recommend? Cheers [:)] ]'>

This is very clever and cool - going to have to try this. Cheers! [:)] ]'>

I have an eMate 300 - found it quite impressive. Despite being a Newton they are not small at all. Having a serial connection that doesn't need an easily lost or broken adapter is also an advantage. I believe you can repack the batteries if they are dead as well.

I will look after it! [:D] ]'> It ended up being a few dollars short of my maximum...

Sorry Bunsen! I know about unna.org - I have a few other Newtons as well. I will post pictures when I get back to Perth and open the package.

After a few attempts I have managed to pick up an eMate of eBay. It comes complete with power supply, teachers guide and graphing calculator handbook (the photo also shows a stylus which is handy). I have always wanted to get one of these and this one should arrive before I get home from site...

Mainly for installing software onto the Newton from my PowerBook G4 running 10.4.

Bit of an update... Just secured on eBay a working 3Com 3C589D PCMCIA Ethernet Adapter. I already have one of these (with a busted up dongle) and this one comes with 2 working dongles so with any luck I will end up with 2 working setups. According to this page these cards should work with my...

I have considered Ethernet but I have never been able to get a Newton compatible PCMCIA ethernet card... Would be much easier though. Cheers [:)] ]'>

Check out http://www.pure-mac.com/handhelds.html for a few options for comm software. Cheers [:)] ]'>

After some further investigation, it looks like it is only supported on OS X under Classic mode. Guess I will have to install a Classic environment...

Hi All, In my ongoing mission to get my Newton 2100 talking to my PowerBook G4 (running 10.4 no Classic), I purchased a second-hand Belkin USB Serial Adapter (F5U114-MAC). It is the one with two DIN-8 ports. Now it appears Belkin have 8.6 and 9.x drivers, does anyone know if they have OS X...

Thanks - that is what I suspected. [:)] ]'>

G'day, Hope this is the right section to post this.... I have just bought a PowerForce (PowerLogix) G3 350/175/512K "SPARTAN" upgrade card and was wondering if there is any performance difference between running it in a 7500 or a 7600? Also, what settings would people recommend? Looking at...

I would be keen on playing Bolo over the net! I used to play it a lot in first year Uni...

I am in favour of this. I found Steve Wozniak's autobiography an interesting read. I also have a fairly extensive Mac magazine collection if anyone wants to borrow any issues (a few date back to 1985) - I am in Perth, WA.

I also have a QuickTake 100. Came in original box and with most of the documentation. Does anyone know if you can use a QT100 as a computer controlled camera? What I would like to do is take a picture every few minutes and save it to the hard disk.
