i am very close to getting an apple newton h1000 and i was wondering what i could do with it apart from playing around with it ie, i want to use it as it was intended (as much i can anyway) so do you have any advice on how i can use it in this day and age?
also id really like to connect it to my windows laptop (windows 10) so i can put programs and the like on it if thats possible (i did find a listing for a 8 pin to usb cable thats 50 BLOODY POUNDS but thats ok because il probably find anther listing on temu for something similar
At the time rechargable AA and AAA batteries were Ni-Cad and wouldn’t work because they don’t produce enough voltage chemically. NIMh might have the same problem. Be prepared to have 1.5v Alkalines available.
I can’t speak for the h1000, but my eMate 300 runs off modern rechargeable AAs perfectly. I replaced the rechargeable battery pack with my own home made one.
I essentially did this: http://newtonpoetry.com/2009/04/13/how-to-install-a-new-newton-emate-battery-pack/
i think my rechargables are 1.5v
