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…

Also, you can use the patched Apple SC HD Setup to format ZIP disks, and the OS will treat it like a regular hard disk. The only disadvantage of this is that ejecting is now a two …

If you plan on using a ZIP drive you will need the Iomega 4.2 driver in order for it to boot the Plus. That also brings up some questions about formatting with third party utilitie…

I can add to this posting that I haved worked with IPNetRouter to connect a Macintosh Plus to the Internet. I use a Quadra as (software) router. You can download it and use it for …

I have a few of those, but all third-party. Never knew Apple made their own! I use one connected to my Centris 650, with one port connected to an AirPort Express acting as a Wire…

yup, had one in college, used it to share the single ethernet port in my dorm room with my Supermac J700, IIci, II and my roomates powerbook 100 w/ a SCSI/ethernet adaptor.

Huh, must have missed that when I posted it. There might be a way to use the classic version of IPNetRouter, since it supports MacIP.

I did some research and it seems your Farallon Etherwave has some sort of support for TCP/IP. Click to expand... Farallon / EtherMac and EtherWave adapters. / Drawbacks …

Hi agg23, No I haven't been able to connect my Plus to internet so far... I have to keep trying anyway but I haven't many free time.

Thanks for your reply. That's a bit disappointing that the fax function hasn't worked well for you. I have yet to try it out. I answered my CF card question but I have come up with…

Changing the code to use arrow keys ought to be fairly trivial. Because the code just checks for a direction that's not the same nor directly opposite from the previous direction, …

Some re-reading of the typed code the other produced an obvious error on my part (Go Figure, huh?!). Anyway, it does run now (user error is indeed the #1 problem). I just need to …

Aren't you a monkey?
