As I said, I considered it a 2400 with an attitude ;-)
I actually bought two of them and gave one to a friend in the UK. He's
had no trouble other than the power cord breaking at the outlet of the
power supply. Just bad luck I guess.

Yup, especially in Japan those small footprint gadgets are very popular.
The majority of 2400s on Yahoo Auctions Japan seem to go for anywhere
between 60000-80000 yen. I put mine up for auction with the heat
attitude and therefore for 20000 yen but soon a bidding war started and
it sold for 40000 despite the attitude problem. Now the machine is in
repair and the Japanese Post will pay for it. So when it comes back it
will be like new :-) inclusive of 3 months Apple warranty.

Well, my 2400 will come back from Apple in about two weeks time. It
comes with a portable CD-ROM that doubles as a standalone CD Walkman.
It's got a serial interface and I can install all the Newton stuff on
there (runs OS 9.1).
