Hello Community,

For many years, two Newton keyboards have been lying unused in my closet. I have now modified one so that it can be connected to any computer via a USB cable. This works with a homemade adapter based on a Teensy board. I found the instructions for this on the internet. However, since they are sometimes difficult to find, I have written a summary with references to the respective websites.

You can find my guide on my ancient website (please excuse the 90s layout). Although the page is in German, I have also written the guide in English.

Click on "Hilfe" ➔ "USB-Tastatur" ➔ Click on "English Version" at the top left.

Best regards,
Steffen
