Thanks all.  I did go with the archive and install and things seem to 
be okay.

Re: News on my trusty ol' OMP

Frank,

That's...  awesome!

I was looking for a reason I could carry my OMP again.  A backlight
would probably do that quite nicely!

Re: News on my trusty ol' OMP


Well, I was working on a backlight as well, but I guess Frank beat me to it.  Hopefully Frank will detail how to
do it.

Good work Frank.

Thanks,

Ryan

Revisited Book: Power Tips for the Apple Newton MessagePad


Power Tips for the Apple Newton MessagePad
by Lawrence Seldin
Morris Publishing/1995
I saw that there was some action on the lista in 2001/2002 in regards to this book.

Frank was asking about it, among others.  Has anyone read it?  Good, bad or ugly?

I found one reference to the author on the web from 2003: he was looking for advice on a termite problem!
Thanks,

Ryan Vetter

THANK YOU FRANK!
Psst.... (Sonny looks into the mirror and starts mumbling...)
Man, he's pretty much done everything I was thinking about...
I'd surely like to have Frank come visit one of these days, maybe we can
have a Frank's 101 on Newton DIY...
If only we could clone a Cylon of him then we wouldn't have to wait for a
Newton replacement ^_^,
.... Nah, it wouldn't be the same... no one could program his particular
sense of humor.... ;-P
(Sonny notices a faint red blinking led at the far left corner of the
mirror) turning around he see the video camera....
Fudge, I've been busted talking to myself again....

That is really swank.

So the El Glow panel (or whatever it is) takes 9v and needs a little
power inverter module?   So how fast would that drain the batteries to
have the Newton AND glow panel attached?

GPS Pharos iGPS-CF works with TeleTypeGPS

I took me quite a while to get functional GPS on my MessagePad2100 so I thought I would share my settings for
the next user.
I saw a few inquiries in the archives about a Pharos CF GPS units that never really got answered and also there
is a dead-end thread about a desire to get the slots working in TeleTypeGPS. I just thought I would add some
detailed information about what and how I got it working on my MessagePad 2100.
I used the incredible "zTeletypeHack" to get slot0 set as the "serial" interface. I used the Slot0 hack and
put the card in the LOWER or RIGHT slot.
I used a Pharos Compact Flash GPS receiver. Model No: iGPS-CF
I used a PCMCIA Compact Flash Card Type II adapter. Model number: CA-122
I used "TeleTypeGPS Version 2.0.9"
I used the MONITOR view to see the stream from the device. There were a lot of zeros in the strings until I went
outside. After about 1 minute, the stream included actual lat-long data.
I switched to the other modes and confirmed everything was working great!

I uploaded the local (Colorado) highway and town map packages and they worked great too.

I got TeleTypeGPS and the maps from the UNNa.org site and the zTeletype hack package came from the
Stillnewt.org web site.
