Unfortunately, he is no longer working on Newton-related projects or
selling his products.

His last post to the list, he mentioned he had found the remaining
boards (other parts still required) to make some SER-001s and was
looking to sell them to someone on the list. You might try contacting
him to see if he ever did:

NewtonSales.com also sells a version of the board (there was much
controversy over the fact that he ripped off the SER-001 board, but
PCBman eventually gave his de facto permission since he no longer
produces the board) for $85:
