| Looking for a Newton 2100 rom file | |
| So, I hope this type of request is allowed here. Apologies in advance if it's not. I'm wondering if anyone has dumped/can dump the rom from their Newton 2100? I wanted to try and test some things out with Einstein that appear to be bugging out with the Newton 2000 rom file. Thanks so much! 🙂 Posted by: eisnerguy1 on 2025-03-18 13:59:14 | |

Interesting that they're not actually the same file (I checked with md5) despite both being version 717006. I always thought that the 2100 was just a 2000 with more RAM but clearly there were some other differences too. Anyway hopefully this helps 🙂 Posted by: aladds on 2025-03-18 14:27:45 | |
| Ah, yeah. Thanks 👍 I've been using that rom. The main thing is I've been trying to run the Newton demo thing for the 2100 and it keeps erroring out. Thought maybe it had something to do with the rom. That's why I was wondering if someone could dump the rom from their own 2100. Just to see if it was the rom that was the issue or if it's just an issue with Einstein. Hope that makes sense 🤣 Posted by: eisnerguy1 on 2025-03-18 14:51:08 | |
| The eMate 300 was version 717006 too. And and it was different yet again. Here's the MD5s for the "official" dumped ones (as listed in the above link): 169d1383e3fb399098780035f4b4cf14 eMate 300 (717006).rom 9b4469680eb4000f3a5e225f0854836d Lindy 803AS.00 (2.0a6).rom 8867812c0d3cd26412a43768606199ef MessagePad 110 v1.2.rom 080a008f88677ed96e2e91c9c8ab9990 MessagePad 120 v1.3 (444217).rom 4907c5e5e4ec7a960a8a24d70167e9ca MessagePad 130 v2.x (525314).rom f4cb358b79877b361d6c5b7851bc7298 MessagePad 2000 (717006).rom 57123126d56ba445549a0c58632713bd MessagePad 2100 (717006).rom d2485621f0ff7fecb27f8df274eb2ccf MessagePad OMP v1.00.rom 3f303a4b3e20c6c70983234ffecdd2d7 MessagePad OMP v1.3.rom 3795978cf24760d15ca10ef1d3797fe5 Motorola Marco v1.3 (444347).rom 14ea96a32bcf779f541da4a4bb536ef6 Newt J1Armistice image 04d4c392e1e05edb203d93d007328547 Notepad v1.0b1.rom f23ca3057e077f9d89ab7a5547fb8f22 Sharp ExpertPad PI-7000 v1.10.rom 0a5ff02a6ab679e0e27a3874a0a7095f Siemens NotePhone v1.1.rom Posted by: adespoton on 2025-03-20 14:40:22 | |

An alternate source for the ROM image.Thanks so much! 👍 Posted by: eisnerguy1 on 2025-03-22 15:25:01 | |
| maybe OT, but I see the system text strings embedded in the ROM. I always wanted to make a localized ROM in Italian, I wonder if I should simply edit these strings letter by letter, or is there some disassembled ROM to make it easier. Posted by: micheledipaola on 2025-03-22 16:21:13 | |
| That’s a bit beyond my scope of expertise. Someone that might be able to answer that Matthias Melcher. http://www.elektriktrick.com/Newton.html Posted by: splorp on 2025-03-22 16:33:08 |
