Newton news!
Mr.PCBMAN , Newton gadgeteer has designed a new memory board for the eMate series. With this board you get more "heap" (system RAM for you) and it makes the data-bus 16bit (instead of 8bit). This means you can now actually do something with the eMate rather than look at it. RAM upgrades from Newertech were going on eBay for $150+, so he stepped in and made some 4MB ones for $95. He is also investigating getting even more RAM onto them. I have jumped onto the bandwagon and purchased a board, hopefully from the 1st production run.
