[NTLK] Patch 74200 for German MP2100D's

[Oliver Gut]

Thank you for your work, Eckhart.

I have cleaned the alarms, set the date to January 2007, installed 74200 and my 2100D restarted to 01.01.2024. Changed the date to today and everything works like before (except an error message about a „NewtWorksDoc“-extension incompatibility with the system, however, this does not seem to impact the use of „Works"…).

Best regards,

Oliver

Next round, this time for the German MP2100Ds: Again for the brave, you can download the patch here: https://40hz.org/downloads/Patch-742000.zip

This should fix the Y2010 now with a new safe time from 2024 onwards. Unfortunately this patch does not have Paul?s fix to keep the time across reboots, that?s for another time :)

As with patch 712000, there?s the risk of bricking the Newton with the only fix being a ROM board swap which will wipe all data. So unless you feel comfortable doing that, it?s probably better to wait until others have reported success.

Eckhart
