Tom,

I'm glad to know that you are a capable (possible) Newton Repair
person.. ;-) eh?!!! I'm sure the Continental US and North America can
use more able repair persons for such repairs!

I'm especially glad that your Newton is now FULLY functional and able
to instill joy in your day!

Hmm, come people - IF you need a wire Ethernet connection this is a great card!

Again I attest to the fact that these will work, I've opened my Harris
SuperTech 2000 and internally it's a MP120 I believe with back lit LCD
assembly very similar to these replacement parts that Tom has - Only
difference I can see are the back light connection cables and the
COLOR of the back light... I too a photo of my ST2K and it's more of a
Blueish hue than the OEM Green...

I believe they should be functional - this by viewing the LCD assembly
through the Clear Case of my two MP110 Clear Cases....

Man it would have been neat to have a back lit MP110 clear case :(
