[NTLK] Looking for repair for clear newton

Mon Oct 2 15:15:21 PDT 2023

of course clean up crud. Does it work with power supply?
Odd screen? Possible causes if it’s running could be result of damaged display ribbon, need ton remove and clean contacts on ROM board. Ifn itnlooksnoddnwhen not running itn may need a new display.

>> Unfortunately this won't work, they're two different generations, and even though they both use a serial port, their transfer protocols are different. Even the Epson PhotoPC 750Z isn't compatible with Tibet, so imagine the 850Z!
>> Only the Epson PhotoPC 700 works with this brand.

>> And indeed in theory it works, but I had an Epson PhotoPC 600 which is in this list, and it never wanted to connect to Tibet. Then it's possible that it was a fault with that particular device.
>> Verdic, Naoh gives it a try, if you can get it for not too much money, it would be nice to add models to the list Andr?as made two decades ago!
