      Fixed. Alas. Siri wants to be a helpful elf but is in fact quite drunk. Seriously. Thanks for pointing this out. Sometimes I my haste to get content on the site mistakes happen. Especially if I post From my mobile.

      Wow. That’s amazing. Does it “boot” ? Glad to see it’s in good hands and this part of vintage history is preserved.

    I still have my BeBox … plus a prototype case. When the boxes were first shipped to some developers, the case design had yet to be finalized. When the final case arrived, you swapped the motherboard and cards from the prototype to the new case.

    I’ve been hesitant to post Wikipedia stuff as well, but I’ve never run across such an extensive list of date related bugs.

    Although, I will have to add a few missing entries related to Newton OS.

    Years ago, there was a documented issue when attempting to sync a Newton device with modern PCs (unsure about Linux) over serial, where the default port speed to too fast for the sync software to handle. The solution was to use a slowdown.exe package

    This will be a handy addition. I’ll likely go back through my previous posts and add the year (where it’s possible to determine, anyway).
