Hello,

I just picked up a pair of Newton 130's. One does nothing when powered,
the other boots into "UPS TrackPad version 1.25". It seems to be a
custom rom that they designed to track packages, using the pen scanner
device that attaches to the serial port on the side. No regular Newton
features are accessible. I assume that if I can get a regular 130 rom,
I can install that and use it as a regular 130.
Anyone ever heard of this custom application for the Newton?
Any ideas on how to get my hands on a regular 130 rom? Is that idea
feasible?

Anyway, I am relatively new to Newtons. Any ideas, advice, etc, would
be appreciated.

Thanks,

Chuck Sanders
