The rom is 2.1 (B1-007)-1
Ram installed 920ko
The Schlum is in his docking station "Dr Watson".
In this station, when you put the Newton on it, there is the battery AC
charger, a modem Kortex, and 3 connections (1 for a serial to PC, 1 for
serial Mac, et 1 I don't know). The problem is there is no labels for the 3
connectors. Does it mean this is just 1 connection with 3 cables in
parallele ?
Am I the only one having a Schlumberger model on this mailing list ?

Frédéric,
One way to check is to open the Extras, then select "Memory Info" from the
"i" popup menu. At the bottom left, there should be something like "ROM
Version 2.1 (717260)-1". The "717260"
is the default patch for a MP2100, or the one you need to install on a 2000
that had his memory upgraded. In any case, it would display "ROM Version
2.1" if it's a 2.1 device. If it's
really a 2000 clone, then you can think about getting an ethernet card. You
could setup an ethernet connection between your iMac and your Schlum,
getting a much faster speed for backup,
among other thing.
-Laurent.
