Newton-Internal-WiFi

Design and software for a WiFi board for the Apple Newton MessagePad 2x00

  • The PCB design for the board (v1.1)
  • The Newton PKG software module for enabling the board in software
  • STL files for 3D printing a replacement modem port cover. The original port cover interferes with the installed PCB. I have also included a representation of the original port cover, in case you need one. There is a version with supports for printing on a typical hobbiest fused-filament 3D printer. Trim carefully to size using a razor blade.
