My 2400c had something similar with its backlight after I restored it. I assume that it had not run for several years before I did the surgery needed. I found that regular use see…

Well, today the 550c started up just fine as it did yesterday. Unfortunately, the random fade out (and restore) of the screen backlight is still with it. No rhyme or reason to it. …

I will try OS 7.5.5, but it seems 3rd party board, so I don't believe in success. What hardware probers can you recommend? I have no idea about them. As for my local people - at …

Success! This thing is sitting here with a clean install of OS 7.5 just purring away! Lost the RAMDoubler app in the process, might have that somewhere amidst my vintage sof…

With my neck in a brace from the whiplash I got when I opened the mailbox earlier this afternoon to discover the replacement AC adapter I'd bought on eBay on Saturday had arrived(!…

The board is very small for the early/mid 1990s. There is no socket for an optional FPU. So it may have been designed for one of the NuBus LC family, and thus may work with OS ship…

Holy smokes that was it. Thanks porter.

Is it in 24-bit mode? You need 32bit mode to see more than 16Meg.

Ugh, bad timing. It was down for a while today because of all the storms over where the host is. It is working fine now.

And a proxy gives me: couldn't connect to host So... try it from within a proxy, wackymacs!

From what I can gather, the server's up, but there's nothing on it. *crosses his fingers that Mac Hut comes back online sometime within my last 48 hours of access to high speed…

That should be 'of'. Dammit, I can't edit.

Gussie Fink-Nottle is, in the inimitable words or Bertie Wooster, a 'Newt fancier'. As Jeeves might put it, however, the MessagePad appellation is of my own invention.

Sorry for interrupting with non-Newton talk, but Gussie Fink-Notle?! Awesome! Did you make that up? Long time fan of P. G. Wodehouse here... Peace, Drew

Attention all 'Gussie Fink-Nottles'! Eckhart Köppen's new fix for the 2010 problem on the Newton MessagePad 2100 is now available here. Development is, I gather, also underway for…
