Need help distinguishing OMP and 100 models.

I have an Apple Newton that I got for free. Judging by pictures, it must be either an OMP or a 100. How can I tell which one it really is? It's kind of a neat little thing and I'd like to know more about it.

My OMP has

FCC I.D BCGH1000

Model Number H1000

and copyright of 1993

Mine was officially an Apple Service part and not retail, it came with NOS 1.11

I do not know about the 100 but on my OMP it just says "MessagePad" on the bottom of the front.

Is any of that different on yours? I don't even know how different the 100 is.

Mine has exactly the same things written on the front and back. That's good to know.

Hope it helps,

Ah, yes, this helps. I definitely have a 100 model because of the sticker under the battery holder. Who would have thought it would be so hard to tell apart?

Anyway thanks. Problem solved.
