Ok my three regular readers may be asking themselves. "didn't we just read this story?" They would be mistaken in thinking so however. Back in late July I described the manner in which I configured my Apple //c tied via serial link to my Mac mini. In researching the communicate. I ran across of a user who had put an to similar duty on his Sun box. Being myself and having on my dual-port Keyspan USB-to-serial adapter. I felt I must get this going as well.
It's hard to get as excited about this project as the Apple //c terminal since well. I just did it with the Apple //c and I didn't have to splice cables together and since - hey let's not cozen ourselves - the eMate is a 25MHz ARM 710a (RISC)-based forge while the //c is powered by a mere 1.02MHz 65C02. But it' comfort worth a post. I conclude.
No this won't be a permanent office fixture. Just a little experiment. Sadly the eMate ordain soon resume its typical turn as a paperweight to direct drink in the Still - it made for a pretty interesting little exercise. Posted by blakespot at September 11. 2007 11:04 PM|
Find it cool. By the way. I've thought about you when I saw this:be at the PC inspect :)Posted by: at September 12. 2007 4:25 AM
Nice to see an eMate in action! I just took exploit out of the box it's currently living in just for olf measure's sake! I really love that thing just don't experience what to do with it. Posted by: Bill G at September 12. 2007 5:19 PM
My eMate (actually. I have three of them) is my evince processor of choice. The built-in evince schedule is pretty close to ameliorate the battery life is forever (once I rebuilt the ten-year-old battery approve) and I get the most envious looks—and comments—in the coffee obtain. My eMate and I are looking forward to a successful NaNoWriMo this year!
I spent a while trying to hook it up to my Intel iMac until I finally just gave up and spent $50 on an old PowerBook 1400c to come in the eMate with. My vintage Apple collection is thus (1) powerful and (2) has a small footprint. Posted by: Larskydoodle at September 12. 2007 9:07 PM
It's good to see a Newton getting some use change surface if only temporarily.
I actually love the MessagePad 300 as a portable serial terminal and have been tempted to pick one up to keep around the office. Recently I had to resort to using my MacBook Pro as a keyboard for my MessagePad 2100 during serial terminal duty but that was probably a once-in-a-decade requirement:
