Hello guys, So I have this Macintosh Freestyle Tablet (basically a PowerBook 5300). The problem is the hard drive overheated I believe and has been acting funky ever-since. Altern…

Please consider that some authors do not want their software to be freely developed after they have abandoned it. It is all fine and dandy to label them as greedy because of that,…

Just so you know, from a message sent to the NewtonTalk mailing list on June 14th: Dear Newton Users, I'm pleased to announced that ATA Support can now be downloaded in a f…

I have a USB2 PCMCIA card that I can use if that particular change is made.

For my Lombard I just pulled 5v from the pads on the bottom of the mobo from the USB ports. They are nice and exposed and it is super easy. I have never used much more than a keybo…

I've heard of some people (like this one) using the +5v from the PCMCIA card cage to run the fan off of a little switch they've installed. May be worth trying, or googling for othe…

Can't say I know the inside of the Lombard too well so I might be well and truly off the mark here but is there any sort of thermal sensor that's tripping (or in this case not trip…

I replaced the fan and it was spinning OK when installed. Heck even the original one looked OK.

Can you spin the fan with your hand? Check the connections.

Does the DLink need a password? If it does, try typing a $ before the password. That sometimes works.

More realistically you could enable ink as is on the mac, then install vnc server and client on the machine and newton respectively. Sure it might be a bit laggy, but it will be a …

Is there any sort of utility to turn on the internal fan on a Lombard? This thing is overheating and locking up. The cooling fan is not turning on at all. I'm working on a new s…

Someone did actually do this, in the Classic OS of course. So it'd certainly be possible, although improbable. You would need to write an advanced enough driver that made the Newt…

Impressions on speed and battery life. Speed: There are broadly comparable start-up times; the system, however, seems marginally slower in saving a file for some reason, but not …

Actually, I got the keyboard working! (The contacts were a little dirty) Thanks for your help!

I just love my iBook SE (366 Clamshell). however, the battery seems to be completly dead. The iBook was running OS X, so i installed Mac OS 9 to run the Battery Reset application…

I don't even know if this would be, but hear me out: The newton handwriting recognition lives on in Mac OS X as inkwell. It only shows up when you plug in a graphics tablet. There…

Great! Love to hear your impressions on speed, battery life, etc

Following repeat problems, I replaced the ram chip, and now there is no trouble with Virtual Memory enabled or off. Ram must have been bad, though the particular component has give…

Driverguru, the "Nike" you're describing was a shipping product from not that long ago. It was an add-on to the iPod, not a custom MacOS portable device. And "Nike" wasn't a code…
