Since you have an ancient MP120, I would go for the upgrade route. My
first Newton was an MP120, too, with NOS 1.3. Maybe you have this as
well? The HWR in those wasn't very good. Recently, MP2100s were selling
for $99 on ebay, $134 with a few extras such as a 32 MB card and a power
supply as well as rechargeable batteries and a modem.
Some are in excellent condition, check out ebay and have a look. I think
you like your Newton a whole lot better with an MP2100 or an upgraded
MP2000. Don't go for a "Not Upgraded 2000" as they tend to run out of
Heap Space very quickly.
Best regards,
Chris
