Open Extras, tap "i", then "Memory Info". You'll get a dialog telling
you which version of the ROM you have. I'm not sure if this works on a
NOS 1.3-based Newton, since I don't have one anymore.
The sticker in your backup 120 seems to indicate that this unit has been
upgraded from NOS 1.3 to NOS 2.0. In that case, the keyboard should just
work. I think it's on pre-NOS 2.0 Newtons that you need some kind of
software to make the keyboard works.
The problem with your Organizer file is that the server and/or your
browser don't recognize this file type and default to text. If using a
Macintosh, click on the link and hold the mouse button down until a
popup menu appears. If using a 2-buttons mouse or a PeeCee, right-click
the link. Then, from the popup, select "Save link to disk..." or similar
option, depending if you're using Communicator or Explorer.
If you're on a Mac, you will probably need to fix the file type of the
file, or it won't be recognized as a valid file by Organizer. If on a
PC, you need to have the right file extension. Can't tell you what file
type or extension is valid since I don't use Claris Organizer.
