Re: [NTLK] Q: Does anyone have, or have photos of a MessagePad EVT 'Q'?

        I want a EVT with the 8 to 12 meg internal memory. Those were
cool.

Sonny, I believe the device to which you referred was known as the
"Eye-Q".

Hm, well this is not what I'm actually in search of.
I believe everyone has seen the MP2000 DVT units floating around here
and
there and especially on eBay occasionally.
'Q' was the code name for the MP2000 and normally the DVT units had the
name
MessagePad DVT on the rear label.

However what I'm looking for are the EVT (Engineering Verification Test
Units; I hope this is right...)
These would have been from what I believe the two versions of the
MessagePad
2000 which were being engineered simultaneously.
One with the slower process that the eMate eventually came out with and
the
faster DEC SA110 StrongARM processor which we lovingly call the MP2000.

I'm sure that someone has one of these out there in the wild or in a
collection. I just wanted to see if it could be possible ot get a set of
photos of it. Preferably also with the insides clearly documented if at
all
possible.

The EYE-Q which you mentioned would have been a nice addition to the
Newton
Photo Collection I have on Flickr for all to peruse through, but I too
am a
bit busy now having a Wife, to kids (Girl-5 & Boy-1.5), mortgage, house,
job
(aka work) & now back to school to finish my Undergraduate Degree...

But if you eventually find time to look it up I'd appreciate a update
when
you do track the EYE-Q down.. ;-) as I'm sure you will.
