Newton Inside
Image by splorp
This is an x-ray showing the interior of a Newton MessagePad 2000. The image was originally posted by Jonathan Sanderson on Pondlife, the North of England Newton Users Group website. The site is now offline, but bits of the content can still be perused via the Internet Archive .
I am reposting the image here for future reference and subsequent annotation. Most Newton owners have never seen the inside of their handheld, let alone in this form. I am also attempting to track down the high resolution false colour versions of this image.

Hey, look at that. Freshly generated high resolution false colour variations courtesy of fellow Newtonhead, Ron Parker. Thanks, pal.
Nice.. I miss the Newton.. this makes me want to pull mine back out again.
You should. You still have a 2100? I remember the first time I used a 2×00 series MessagePad… it was yours at SFO or Macworld or something. I think I was in town with Trent Hoyem and you met us there. I couldn’t believe the speed of that sucker compared to my MP120.
Thanks t-mix. I’ve been having a blast adding notes to this image. And judging by the number of views on this image, a lot of folks are enjoying it as well. Makes me wish I had been the one to make the original x-ray.
If we all bother Apple enough, maybe they’ll make us an iNewt. Wouldn’t that be nice?
Nice? Sure.
Likely? Nope.
Maybe someday, we’ll have an Apple tablet or überportable that can run the Einstein emulator. That’s the closest we’re going to get to an iNewt, I’m afraid.
Hey Sonny, thanks for the additional notes on the nuts.
Awesome photo. I’m still too scared to open up my Newton OMP, 120 and eMate 300
I’ve poked around the inside of a couple of Newts, but never to this extent. Frankly, I’m glad it was someone else that went to the effort to x-ray their MessagePad and not me.
I have a photo of the internals of a 2×00 here
Thanks pytey, that’s a very interesting set of images. Are you installing the Pixsolutions accelerator yourself? Please consider adding your entire set of Newton photos to the Newton group.
Hi, I’m an admin for a group called Printed Circuit Boards, and we’d love to have this added to the group!
Done. Thanks for the invite.
