[NTLK] Old Newton development devices

[Maurice Sharp]

If memory serves the two units with extensions and the bottom board were for developing the MessagePad 110 firmware and OS. The upper board is either the original MessagePad or the 110. If the screen sizes of the two boards are the same then it’s the 110. It certainly doesn’t look like the one we used for the original MP.

I have two development boxes and 3 early Newtons with attachment cards. They were, I believe, used for ROM development, and I have never hooked them up. A picture is here:
