I've had an eMate for well I don't know. I got it new after they discontinued, so 10 years? I've used it for many things, and am quite fond of it. I do think the HWR is a bit qu…

Ok, the Lombard works as long as I don't make it overheat. For learning PHP/MySQL it's pretty good and runs cool. I ran it off of battery for a few hours yesterday, leaving it id…

Try plugging in a mouse and holding the button through startup, this is Apples force eject protocol for these drives.

I ask this on behalf of my uncle, who needs this drive fixed by the evening... He's got a CD-ROM stuck in his slot-loading CD drive (without a paper clip eject button). The drive …

If you do have any plroblems getting it up and running or need extra parts then this chappie, http://newtonsales.com/ does sales and repairs. Nothing wrong with putting a bit of m…

I deeply appreciate the tips, beachycove. I will perform the hard reset dance at the first opportunity. It would be nice to get it working. It looks like a neat little machine for…

The eMate is a great machine for its intended uses. Accept none of the usual insults regarding your new toy. I have fiddled with several of these over the past months, and while m…

Thanks, Rodus! That website seems to be *the* Newton place -- I'll be spending a lot of time there, I see (assuming that I resurrect this unit). As for surfing, I've got my expect…

I've found Newtscape to be the best with NetHopper a very close second, a word of warning though, surfing on an eMate is going to be slooooow. It's slow on my 2000 which has a 162…

It sure does -- many thanks, ChristTrekker. Have you tried any of these? I'm up for a certain amount of experimentation, but I'd also like to benefit from the collective wisdom of …

A little Googling finds browsers called Courier and LunaSuite. The first is GPL, the second is discontinued. Does that help at all?

For $4 I got my first emate. Doesn't work at the moment, but assuming that it can be induced to do so at some point, what choices are there for browsers? I understand that there's …

A little patience and this was the solution :b&w: Newton now back in action. Thank you all very much. Michael Remove the battery and power for a little while, the…

most of the times you can just press the reset button and it will spring back to life. my MP2100 did that a few times. the first time i wigged out cause i just bought it. i remembe…

Remove the battery and power for a little while, then attach the power cable only. Slide and hold the power button over, and a very dim screen should come up asking if you want to …

I've never had this with mine but I'd suggest signing up here: http://www.newtontalk.net/ If one of these guys can't help then I'd be surprised.

I have been using my Newton at least once a week (usually during the boring weekly tech report meetings of endless powerpoinr slides of tedium). I love my Newton 2000 but this Mon…

Dug out a crossover cable, successful connection. Strange because both machines should not need it: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2274?viewlocale=en_US So I guess I don't need an…

Make sure it is not less than 75%. Go for 90% to 99%. Make sure the percentage is listed on the bottle because they will try to sell ya the weak crap if they can. The higher the …

Thank you all for your suggestions. I have removed and reseated the ROM card to no avail. I hadn't thought of the alcohol. I will give that a shot. Is anyone here good with a mult…

A good spraying of freon could be helpful in removing any remaining tomato residue and all the dried up conductive minerals left behind from the water and possible residual toothpa…
