Saw one hereabouts around '96 and although it was several years old by then
(i.e. not new), the store wanted $350 (!!). Since i wanted just the Newt (and
didn't like the salespeoples attitude as well ;-), i declined.
IIRC it's a 110 with some Siemens code, like Logo in ROM and german locale.
It was detachable and should be used as private Phone book cum Notepad.
Most or all of this i believe is in the FAQ, at
http://members.aol.com/thisolnewt/FAQ/index.html (ThisOlNewt for a change)...
oops, it's just mentioned there (as OMP-clone combination); rather look at the
"Newton Gallery": http://www.msu.edu/~luckie/newtgal.htm, where already 2
versions are portrayed.
