Lemme bookmark that one
I did not know about it

Do you know if there is an active project to bring the newton's IR drivers up to date ? (other than backtalk that is)

[Ken Whitcomb]

The talk on the newtontalk list has been that this would be a major mountain to hurdle. Based on what I've read (check out the interview on TON with Robert Ellison), Backtalk was accomplished by adding some additional stacks to the existing newton implementation of the protocol rather than rewriting the drivers to communicate with more modern IR devices.

I've gathered that this means what you desire would require overhauling IR code at the system level rather than just adding on. But I'm largely ignorant of these type of details.

[AdmiralAK]

I;ve asked about this on the newton talk list but there seems to be no general yes or no answer.

I will look at TON (This Old Newton):

Well, I'm just happy to say that I'm getting a Newton MP120 on Friday, so I'm happy. And, just to top it off, a local TV station aired the episode of the Simpsons that includes the bullies writing "Beat up Martin" on their Newton, turning it into "Eat up Martha" (or something like that) and ends up with them throwing it at Martin, the geeky one.
But, to keep it on topic, one other Newton link.

Why? They sell refurbished Newtons. All they have is the 120 and eMate, though.

Found another nice like

Planet newton
http://www.planetnewton.com

Seems old, but it has some software, some reviews and tech help database.
I need to find a specific link for the Newton TIL ( will do so later)



Welcome to the newton community
It rocks


Admiral

PS: In the simpsons episode it did say eat up martha...lol

[dougk_ff7]

Well, I got it, and I must say it's AWESOME. Just want to get it to sync via IR though, all I have is the Mac Mini-DIN8 connector, and I want to use it with a USB->DB9 adapter.
