Non sequitur. Your facts are uncoordinated.

Perhaps not, but they may be more informative.

Then by all means just take whatever random Android phone you can bum off of eBay for $10 and try dragging-and-dropping a MessagePad ROM image to it. They're all going to work equa…

Honestly, I'm curious to see what happens, even if it costs me an arm.  Not if it costs me an arm and a leg, though.

I think a better question is what do *you* think would happen if one were to stick a Commodore 64 ROM into an Apple II. The answer is essentially the same as what you could reasona…

What would happen if you physically adapted a Commodore ROM for an Apple II board? It seems the digitizer would be a second-order problem. But no, I didn't think it's work out o…

The short answer on CPU compatibility proper is that the Newton devices used the ARMv3 family CPUs (you'll find some ignorant references claiming that the Newton was "ARM 6", but "…

Right.  This is why I don't want to risk any expensive or interesting tech.  So two things.  1) Have you ever seen WiFi working in Einstein?  I saw a reference to it being possible…

Unfortunately, beyond the similarity of the ARM processor, which despite being descendent from the one used in the MessagePads is probably a slightly different instruction set, the…

1) This isn't about Einstein... 2) Does anyone have any thoughts on possible compatibility of any ARM-based smartphone and NewtonOS? - That's it.  I don't really know enough to a…

Never mnid. I found a Newer Technology drive enclosure initially meant for a Mac Mini.  I put the hard drive in there and just accessing it on the Ubuntu box is so much faster …

I reset the BIOS on the Bay trail machine and it now has Ubuntu 14.04 installed and sharing its wifi connection over ethernet.  I tried Linux Mint Mate 17.1 but couldn't find a sim…

While I have the Bay Trail machine working again I may either leave the iBook there or try my Lombard to see if it can handle sharing its connection since either of them would take…

quinterro said: I wondered if the iBook could do the same thing.  After trying it out it worked like a charm.  At the moment it is sitting on my bookshelf running Internet Sh…

About two weeks ago I switched from Roadrunner to U-Verse.  The modem for Roadrunner was in my office, while the modem for U-Verse was in my living room and on the opposite side of…

Bad solder joints. There's a thread somewhere on here about that problem with some photos of which ones you'll want to freshen up.

Yeah they look like platinum, one is slightly yellowed. Also, one of them I sometimes need to smack a couple of times to get the crt on. Any ideas what the problem is? Just a loose…

Even more impressive is that you got two keyboards and two external hard drives!! Are they both platinum?

Well done! That's what I call a good trade!

haha outstanding!!!! now all you need to do is get over and pick you up a Floppy Emu/HD20 Emu and a 1meg Re-Writeable rom disk kit. http://www.bigmessowires.com/macintosh-floppy…

Indeed! Good job! c

Nice trade.

I traded a PM G5 I had for two full 4MB Mac Plus systems with someone on craigslist. { "lightbox_close": "Close", "lightbox_next": "Next", "lightbox_previous": "Pr…

I still have my Video Spigot card.  It was a very cool thing to have back in the day, being able to run anything on Macintosh screen. Since no adapter seems to exists, looks like …

No. As far as I know, nobody ever made a PDS to dual NuBus adapter, and if someone did, you'd need an extended case, like the one you pictured. If you could run a second NuBus car…
