AichEss Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 Steve Weyer released Newt's Cape as freeware a couple of years ago. It is supposed to be the best Newton browser. You can get it here https://communicrossings.com/html/newton/regnewtscape.htm Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like it doesn’t supports current days websites anymore. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jinnai Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 That's likely to be how it is my dude. It'd be cool if someone could create a web service that loads pages in a server and translates them to something that older browsers could at least render part of the information.

Here is Frank's text-only website http://www.pda-soft.de/textonly.html If you, like me, have trouble with this page your browser install needs tweaking. Please let me know what you do/did to make it work. AichEss Quote Link to post Share on other sites

beachycove Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 In theory, you could access the Terminal by connecting to a Mac or Linux machine and thus use Lynx on the eMate.... That might be your best bet. I find that Lynx can often circumvent newspaper paywalls and such, so it is very handy for text-only browsing. I should add that I haven't done this eMate voodoo myself, and have only ever thought of trying it on an AWS95 running A/UX -- where a serial connection is easier to manage -- but apparently it can be done: https://bytecellar.com/2007/09/11/newton_emate_30/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have a bunch of serial port-accessible devices and the eMate would make a lovely terminal for them (edit: this should have been its own thread really. created one. sorry for hijack.)

beachycove Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 PT100 is the usual port of call when on this small, green voyage of discovery: http://www.unna.org/view.php?/internet/PT100v1.1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I had a Mac plus working with a raspberry pi using the serial connection from the gpio on the board. A dB-9 level shifter and a dB-9 to mini din serial cable gets the connection going. Then just set up serial console and you can access the terminal (and lynx) from ur Mac. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
