TiMacLover Senior Member USA 1282 Posts	Posted - 05 Jul 2002 : 10:56:29 How do i turn the backlit on this thing (Newton Original)? When I got to install a packet I get a connection error each time, what is wrong? How much and what kind of memory cards do I get for this thing? Thanks!

I think you're out of luck. quote: When I got to install a packet I get a connection error each time, what is wrong? What version of software are you using. I don't think you can use newton connection utilities. Get the earlier software. Also what you're install requires rom 1.0 (i think) quote: How much and what kind of memory cards do I get for this thing? I'm almost sure that linear flash cards will work, but are sorta expensive and rare. There is the ATA support that should be released any time that allows you to use much cheaper ata cards (ie, compact flash, smart media) via a pcmcia adapter. I'm not sure if ATA support will work on the OMP, but i might be wrong. quote: I loaded a huge 12k sound file on to it, it froze trying to load it so I restarted the Newton, now how can I find it on here? I have no clue about that. might have to do with the connection software that you're using. _______________________ Sgt. Thelip Heavy Weapons Specialist 950 division Liberated Macs: 12

thelip Full Member USA 729 Posts	Posted - 10 Jul 2002 : 12:03:33 Hey Ti (and whoever it might concern...) I was reading an article on this old newt and some guy had a great idea for a light source alternative for the 120's and lower. He got a battery operated book reading light for 5 bucks at walmart. Sounded like an simple idea worth sharing here. _______________________ Sgt. Thelip Heavy Weapons Specialist 950 division Liberated Macs: 12
TiMacLover Senior Member USA 1282 Posts	Posted - 10 Jul 2002 : 12:16:40 So can I update the ROM? Jeremy "I'll see you on the Dark Side Of The Moon" - Pink Floyd Covert Ops 68k Hacks General Macs Liberated:19 ENTER THROUGH THE GATES

You are stuck w/ OS 1.3 Make sure you are useing the "Newton Connection Kit" and not the "Newton Conntion Utilities" to interface with your Newton. ~Marchie ~Chaplain Marchie Admin of The WonderLAN ~~"We are all Mad here"~~
