Newton 110
Just collected this evening a complete Newton 110.
Came boxed and with all goodies including Psu and video tape, even a set of stickers and 3 Sram Cards
My first Newton, not perfect but working fine and free

Congrats. Epic conquest. Love free, don't get that a lot but every once in a while.
Hi,
Anyone knows if those Sram card need a battery to work ? all of them are nor recognised when inserted, but all batteries are flat.

SRAM cards do have a coin cell battery.
Free is nice! A Newton is next on my want list, but I don't see them around here very often (in fact, I've only seen one in person once, about 10 years ago).
So probably won't work with a flat battery ?
Very nice.
My Newton collection is almost complete. I have the 100, 110, 120, 130 and the eMate. I just need to 2000 and the 2100 and I'm done, but they're always so expensive! I do have to replace/fix my 110 though. It's missing all the screws on the back for some reason.

I was more or less looking for the 2100, but who can resist a boxed free item ?
NewtOS2.1 is much more "complete," and oh how I wish it were still being developed — but the early Newtons and the first Newton OS do have a certain charm about them.
I have a 110 here in the collection, and could easily see using it as an organizer etc. were it not for the fact that I have a 2100 in daily use. I have occasionally been tempted to revert to the 110, however, since the 110 is smaller and simpler. I also find NewtOS v.1 handwriting recognition engine (for printed characters) to be pretty darned accurate, and fast enough to be perfectly usable.
Cursive handwriting, though? Forget about it.
