A Macintosh 512K with working system on my desk. One of the dream is fulfilled.<br />
<br />
This is the 512Ke model from April 1986 (not the platinum model). Can't wait to paint with MacPaint with this fat Mac.<br />

<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Masih ingat PowerBook 170 yang dibeli dalam <a href="http://pinotmac.blogspot.com/2011/03/mac-in-kuwait-flea-market.html">kondisi mati di pasar loak sekian tahun lalu</a>? Dengan bertahap kami melengkapi unit ini dan berusaha membangunkannya agar bisa beroperasi secara normal.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Yang pertama kami lakukan adalah mencari adaptor listrik untuknya. Kami mendapatkannya di eBay plus dengan batere yang kemungkinan besar sudah tidak berfungsi. Walau sempat tidak bereaksi sekian lama, tiba-tiba PowerBook ini terbangun dari mati surinya. Logic board masih sehat, layar masih cemerlang walau ada dead pixel di sana sini, namun hard disk mati ditandai dengan icon floppy disk kedap kedip.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<iframe class="twitvid-player" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.twitvid.com/embed.php?guid=M6DS2&autoplay=0" title="Twitvid video player " type="text/html" width="480"></iframe><br /><br />
<br /><br />
Berikutnya, kami mencari disket operating system untuknya. Sekaligus mengetes floppy drive-nya apakah masih berfungsi atau tidak. Membuat disket sistem di era MacOS X saat ini sangat tidak mudah karena format directorynya berbeda dengan era 90an. Satu cara yang paling mudah adalah mencari di eBay. Kami berhasil memenangkan lelang disket System 7.0 ini walau kondisinya tidak pasti apakah masih berfungsi atau tidak.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4QU898Htand-U0D7EeOOaQEtphCmjuELq4vRNhyphenhyphenuZLOUSBATtRTcokAx9I5vLVxGUvqpSrhc6Lk4XP-2UBAmXTjvgXuFPzmXGn3d8XW8lz4YjS0_VhV3JF-IrqF1xKoQjnUR3/s1600/QVBKrXoR_v.jpeg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4QU898Htand-U0D7EeOOaQEtphCmjuELq4vRNhyphenhyphenuZLOUSBATtRTcokAx9I5vLVxGUvqpSrhc6Lk4XP-2UBAmXTjvgXuFPzmXGn3d8XW8lz4YjS0_VhV3JF-IrqF1xKoQjnUR3/s200/QVBKrXoR_v.jpeg" width="200" /></a><br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Begitu shipping tiba, kami langsung coba dan berfungsi! Dan artinya floppy drive-nya juga masih berjalan dengan baik.<br /><br />

<br /><br />
Kemudian yang harus diganti adalah hard disk. Kebetulan kami mendapatkan sumbangan PowerBook 160 & PowerBook Duo 230 yang sudah mati total dari seorang sahabat.<br /><br />
<br /><br />

<br /><br />
Hard disknya kami ambil dan dicangkok ke PowerBook 170. Hore, PowerBook-nya sudah punya hard disk baru!<br /><br />
<br /><br />

Saat kami mau naik ke lantai 4, terlihat beberapa pengunjung dihadang security "Maaf pak lantai sedang tertutup sementara karena banyaknya antrian orang mau beli iPhone 5." Dengan alasan ada janji di lantai atas & membawa anak-anak, kami diloloskan naik :D<br />
<br />
<a href="http://twitpic.com/blrkdf" title="iPhone 5 crowd in Senayan City #AntriLikeAKing on Twitpic"><img alt="iPhone 5 crowd in Senayan City #AntriLikeAKing on Twitpic" height="150" src="http://twitpic.com/show/thumb/blrkdf.jpg" width="150" /></a> <a href="http://twitpic.com/blrofa" title="iPhone 5 crowds in front of XPLOR #AntriLikeAKing on Twitpic"><img alt="iPhone 5 crowds in front of XPLOR #AntriLikeAKing on Twitpic" height="150" src="http://twitpic.com/show/thumb/blrofa.jpg" width="150" /></a><br />
<br />
Sampai di atas, terlihat barisan antrian menuju gerai XL yang ternyata sudah terbentuk dari jam 8 pagi. Relatif tertib dengan jumlah sekitar 400an orang.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimB_FdjGit5fNjeum1n2pa0vGntUhVCTf5kMB1dbf5j6rXZAVMypwehxlUF7fzdPYct8sEAU_hYfllDrv3ZK0QeywnCsEmE3chz9Pya2KYoUSfEcs5_Jvo3lhaRNP-kRu9SMQTqQ/s1600/701697027.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimB_FdjGit5fNjeum1n2pa0vGntUhVCTf5kMB1dbf5j6rXZAVMypwehxlUF7fzdPYct8sEAU_hYfllDrv3ZK0QeywnCsEmE3chz9Pya2KYoUSfEcs5_Jvo3lhaRNP-kRu9SMQTqQ/s320/701697027.jpg" width="238" /></a><br />
<br />
Bahkan beliau ini sudah stand by di lokasi dari kemarin malam dan akhirnya mendapatkan iPhone 5 di tangan jam 11:00 pagi ini. Total 12 jam di Senayan City. Gencarnya kampanye promo <a href="http://www.antrilikeaking.com/">#AntriLikeAKing</a> di Twitter dan media sosial lain sejak beberapa waktu lalu membuat meriah suasana hari ini. Yang ngga niat ngantri pun penasaran & ikutan menonton suasananya di depan gerai XL.<br />
<br />
Antrian iPhone 5 ini cukup unik. Disediakan sarana pijat buat istirahat, dihibur dengan bidadari bidadari kece yang hilir mudik kian kemari.<br />
<br />

<br />
Bahkan ada joki antrean, seumpama tiba-tiba belet pipis, laper atau mau leyeh-leyeh dulu. Lumayan membantu buat yang beseran. Joki yang didandani sebagai pasukan kerajaan ini merupakan pemenang dari #kuismamah yang diselenggarakan beberapa waktu sebelumnya. Suasana antrian juga dimeriahkan oleh para Raja & Ratu dengan busana kebangsawanannya.<br />
<br />

<br />
Arwen & Leia yang ikutan menyaksikan suasana #AntriLikeAKing pun terbengong-bengong dan bertanya "Are they the real king & queen?" "Bukan"<br />
<br />

<br />
Mereka terdiam lalu bilang "But they look nice & beautiful." Barangkali memang mereka raja & ratu ya?<br />
<br />
Beberapa saat setelahnya, teman kami pun sudah bisa menikmati iPhone 5 mereka. Setelah memasukkan nano SIM card XL, hanya butuh waktu beberapa menit untuk aktivasi dan bisa langsung pakai. No hassle but dazzle.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Website Viva beberapa hari menjelang peluncuran resmi iPhone 5</span><br />
<br />
Di Kuwait, dua operator resmi Viva & Zain sudah dibanjiri pertanyaan kapan mereka merilis harga paket kontrak mereka. Viva terlebih dahulu memajang iPhone 5 di website mereka "Coming Soon" semenjak beberapa hari lalu sementara tidak ada tanda-tanda iPhone 5 di website Zain selain promosi jaringan 4G LTE mereka. Menurut beberapa sumber, Zain lebih mengedepankan fasilitas 4G LTE mereka sebagai bukti kesiapan mendukung device 4G, khususnya iPhone 5. Terlihat di website Zain hari ini: The extraordinary iPhone 5 deserves an extraordinary network.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Dengan paket yg relatif agak lebih mahal dari Viva, Zain mengedepankan jaringan 4G mereka</span><br />
<br />
Sementara itu di Jakarta, hype-nya terasa seminggu sebelum hari H. Kuis & lomba gencar beredar, salah satunya dari operator resmi: <a href="http://www.xl.co.id/iphone">XL</a> yang giat promosi via social network termasuk Twitter dengan hashtag #kuismamah & #AntriLikeAKing. Mengantri bagai raja ini jadi tema saat peluncuran iPhone 5 tanggal 14 Desember. Lebih lanjut bisa dilihat di sini: <a href="http://www.antrilikeaking.com/">AntriLikeAKing.com</a>.<br />

Seru-seruan begini memang khas-nya special event di Indonesia. Walau di Kuwait juga ada kegiatan serupa untuk peluncuran resmi iPhone 5, di Indonesia lebih terorganisir, terkonsep dengan rapi & terasa lebih besar hype-nya. Creativity rulez.Pinot W.

Turn by turn navigation was available in iOS 6 Beta 1, 2 & 3 with iPhone 4 (no voice navigation) in Kuwait. But now missing in the final release. Problem with local regulation?<br />

Among other 56 countries with turn-by-turn navigation, seems Kuwait won't get this feature in the final release. Australia get the same fate, but with some clues <a href="http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2012/09/ios-6-wont-have-turn-by-turn-navigation-in-australia-at-launch/">here</a>.</div>

January 2000, Apple started its online service, iTools. At the next 3 days, <span style="background-color: white;">June 30, 2012</span><span style="background-color: white;">, Apple will shut the last iTools' remain services: iDisk, Gallery photos & iWeb. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Been downloading the 12-years-20GB data into my local hard drive for months. 12 years of data! Hopefully the next online service will last longer, iCloud, DropBox, Google Drive whatever. Otherwise, there will be another waste of bandwith for moving giant data from here to there.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">The only remaining legacy from iTools is mac.com domain. </span><span style="background-color: white;">Fortunately, Apple still keep that domain for its loyal users, including me.</span><br />

Atau, siapkah peta baru tersebut digunakan untuk perjalanan mudik Lebaran nanti?<br />
<br />
Peta baru iOS 6 menggunakan source dari OpenStreetMap dan sepertinya komunitas OSM cukup besar di Indonesia terutama kota besar seperti Jakarta. Jadi untuk navigasi turn-by-turn dalam kota seharusnya sudah sangat layak. <br />
<br />
Bagaimana dengan perjalanan luar kota? Kami ambil contoh kota kecil Kebumen di Jawa Tengah yang menjadi perlintasan sibuk saat arus mudik dan balik Lebaran.<br />
<br />

<br />
Google Maps sangat detail dengan jalan desa, membantu jika ada pengalihan jalur alternatif menghindari kepadatan. Bagi yang biasa menggunakan Google Maps, akan sangat terbantu.<br />
<br />

<br />
Tapi untuk OSM, saat ini hanya terlihat jalan raya dan jalan dalam kota. Belum ada yang menambahkan jalan desa di sekitarnya. Jika berniat menambahkan, bisa bergabung dengan komunitas OpenStreetMap Indonesia di <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Indonesia">sini</a>.<br />

<br />
Ada <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/11/apple-tomtom-ios-6-maps/">info bahwa TomTom</a> juga mendukung peta baru iOS 6. Jika benar demikian, maka coverage-nya akan lebih lengkap lagi seperti peta Kebumen ini.<br />
<br />

<br />
Dan ini adalah peta Kebumen format Garmin, yang dikumpulkan & diolah oleh komunitas <a href="http://navigasi.net/">Navigasi.net</a>.<br />
<br />
Ini hanya pemikiran awal dan masih bisa diperdebatkan karena baru tadi malam peta baru iOS 6 diluncurkan. Namun yang pasti, siap tidak siap Apple sudah berpisah dengan Google Maps.<br />
<br />
Kami sendiri tidak pernah mengandalkan smartphone untuk navigasi luar kota dengan pertimbangan - walau sinyal GPS selalu tersedia untuk memberi informasi koordinat - koneksi data di daerah yang tidak lancar. Data ini penting untuk menambahkan layer peta, jalan dan rute setelah menerima informasi koordinat dari satelit. Kami lebih mengandalkan GPS device yang sudah tersedia peta offline di dalam device. Dan receiver GPS device cenderung lebih kuat & sensitif dibanding GPS chip di smartphone. Selain itu, lebih menghemat batere smartphone dan bisa digunakan untuk keperluan lain.Pinot W.

<br />
<b>Retrieving the Images</b><br />
<br />
If you're living in MacOS X environment with Intel inside your machine, there's no way you can retrieve the images from this 90s Apple QuickTake 100 camera. You need help from either old Mac machine with MacOS 9 (older the better) or Mi (wait for it) crosoft Windows XP!<br />
<br />
You're no longer have old Macs with PowerPC processor. Instead of wandering on eBay looking for any old Mac, will be much hassle-free to install Windows XP in your Mac Intel via Bootcamp or using emulator like Parallel Desktop or VMWare Fusion. <br />
<br />
What you need:<br />
- Microsoft Windows XP emulator for MacOS X<br />
- DIN8 to RS-232 adapter like <a href="http://flic.kr/p/7wgfyZ">this one</a> (or <a href="http://namedfork.net/iphone/serial">create it yourself</a>) and RS-232 to USB adapter like <a href="http://usbserialdrivers.com/">this one</a><br />
- QuickTake software for Windows (<a href="http://members.driverguide.com/driver/detail.php?driverid=74152">link</a>)<br />
- Prolific driver for Windows (<a href="http://usbserialdrivers.com/">link</a>)<br />
<br />
Note:<br />
Another tutorial how to make a serial cable for Apple QuickTake without soldering is <a href="http://myriadofthings.com/make-a-serial-cable-for-the-apple-quicktake-100150-for-5-35-without-soldering/"><span id="goog_636626673"></span>here<span id="goog_636626674"></span></a>. Thanks <a href="http://www.blogger.com/profile/07512065341634956498">Eric</a>!<br />
<br />
Plug the power adapter (warning: the serial connection drains the battery) & serial cable. The LCD indicator shows rotating icon. Once the Windows XP detects the USB connection, go to Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager. We need to assign the USB connection as COM1, COM2, COM3 or COM4 port. Here I take COM1 as default.<br />

<br />
Launch the QuickTake serial ports software to test the connection. It'll saying the QuickTake camera has been connected. Then launch QuickTake main software to get the images from the camera.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">iPhone 4, low-res image from QuickTake, hi-res image from QuickTake</span><br />
<br />
QuickTake can take up to 32 low resolution (standard) photos with 320 x 240 or 8 high resolution photos with 640 x 480. Keep in mind that this is an 18 years old camera with 18 years old technology from the era before mega-pixels. So compare to modern iPhone 4, I can say that the quality is not bad.

It looks like images from Geocities homepage back in mid 90s, showed via Netscape browser in my PowerMac computer. But still way better than my 2003 Sony Ericsson Z600 camera ;)<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
So, it's just for fun. Exploring the retro tech rather than creating good quality photos.<br />
There's no way we can print this kind of image for professional purpose.<br />
But I hope this post helps all the retro gadget collectors out there. Time to resurrect the QuickTake!<br />

Remember the dead PowerBook 170 we bought in <a href="http://pinotmac.blogspot.com/2011/03/mac-in-kuwait-flea-market.html">Kuwait flea market</a>? No battery no sign of life. Then I bought a cheap PowerBook 170 adapter from eBay & decided to try if it still working or not.<br />
No luck, still no sign of life.<br />
<br />
Month passing, yesterday I plugged the adapter back to the PowerBook 170. Then suddenly "BOING" sound heard. It's alive! Nothing wrong with the logic board, inverter board, speaker. But it seems the harddisk is not working. Either still sleeping or totally kaput. We don't know yet.<br />

<br />
At the beginning I was excited. But then, I realized it's just another photo editing & publishing app from Apple. Nothing more. Despite the cool effects feature, something is missing: the direct integration with iPhoto desktop library.<br />
<br />
Let me share our story before we talk about iPhoto for iOS.<br />
Here's the daily basis scenario using photos with our iPhone.<br />
<ol>
<li>Take photos.</li>
<li>Retouch, effects etc then upload to Instagram etc.</li>
<li>After 1000 photos, import all to iPhoto for Mac as the main master database of our photo library. Then delete all the 1000 photos in the iPhone so we'll get new fresh room for another new photos.</li>
<li>Organize the photos in the iPhoto. Keyword, date, album, location, face, etc. And sometimes upload them to Flickr or else.</li>
</ol>
<div>
This is how we organize the ocean of our photos. Archived. Organized. </div>
<div>
But sometimes, we want to take the pictures from the archive - the iPhoto Library database - to our mobile device, iPhone or iPad. There are options we always take:</div>
<div>
<ol>
<li>Create a specific album in iPhoto for Mac.</li>
<li>Open iTunes, sync that album to iPhone/iPad.</li>
<li>Open that album on iPhone/iPad & select photo.</li>
</ol>
<div>
or..</div>
</div>
<div>
<ol>
<li>Launch <a href="http://www.google.com.kw/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cts=1331207128518&ved=0CDMQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.photosync-app.com%2F&ei=1ZtYT47oMMSrrAemmbSjDA&usg=AFQjCNE7J2RqY59ZDnfrfWwiSZswnj4wwA&sig2=hZrs7oF4ASBJb1727BBe8g">PhotoSync app</a> on desktop.</li>
<li>Drag the photo from iPhoto Library to the PhotoSync app</li>
<li>Launch PhotoSync app on iPhone/iPad.</li>
<li>Receive the photo.</li>
</ol>
</div>
<div>
Then last night, Apple announced that they have iPhoto for iOS. I was like.. THIS IS IT! FINALLY! The real iPhoto integration between Mac & iPhone! Seamlessly, wirelessly, iTunes-less integration! iPhoto desktop has iPhoto mobile agent!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I was wrong.</div>
<div>
As I wrote before, apparently it's just another photo editing & publishing app from Apple.</div>
<div>

<div>
<b><br />
</b></div>
<div>
I have Camera+, SnapSeed, PhotoForge2, 100Cameras, Plastic Bullet for tweaking the photos. They are all awesome. Do we need another photo editing app? It depends.<br />
<br />
For me, the effects feature is fantastic, though a bit slow & sluggish on iPhone 4.<br />

Edits in hi-res. Retrieve back the original photos. Save directly in Camera Roll Library or Albums.<br />
But definitely, it's not a replacement for my SnapSeed & Camera+.<br />

<b>Journals</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
We had .mac photo library in the early 2000s. Then MobileMe Gallery. Now, iCloud Journals. Another online gallery from Apple but lack of many online features such as reshare or URL link for each photos just like MobileMe or .mac had.<br />
<br />

<br />
Select photos from library & put them in Journals album. Put the photos with widgets: map, notes, weather, header as additional elements. What you edit here, sync directly to iCloud. Delete one journal in iPhone, deleted also on the iCloud. Keep in mind, by default, free iCloud only has 5GB space.<br />
<br />
This is how it looks in the iCloud. Neat eh?<br />

<br />
You can reshare, reupload, edit & sync directly from iPhoto for Mac. Maybe Apple have hidden plans for adding similar features on Journals in the future? We'll see.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Is it a must have app?</b><br />
<b><br /></b><br />
Again (and again) it's just another photo editing app. I was expect more, like the integration with iPhoto desktop. Journals feature, is what makes this app different with other photo editing apps. If you have an iCloud account, Journals is one good feature to add. Though it's not mature yet.</div>Pinot W.

<br />
Pada saat peluncuran Macintosh pertama di tahun 1984, Apple melakukan segala usaha untuk memperoleh perhatian semua lapisan orang dari pengguna komputer hingga ibu rumah tangga yang ogah pegang komputer. Salah satu usaha yang sangat gencar adalah pemasaran. Seperti brosur ini, membantu memperkenalkan semua orang pada Macintosh, komputer konsumer pertama dengan mouse dan graphical interface.<br />
<br />
Dengan bertajuk "If you can point, you can use a Macintosh" brosur ini menggambarkan betapa mudahnya menggunakan komputer ini.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/pinodita/6742688965/" title="Macintosh brochure 1984 by Pinot & Dita, on Flickr"><img alt="Macintosh brochure 1984" height="500" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7003/6742688965_c4d11e16d0.jpg" width="367" /></a><br />
<br />
Dibandingkan dengan IBM PC dng DOS saat itu, tampilan Macintosh lebih intuitif & mudah dioperasikan. Pada brosur diperlihatkan bagaimana saat itu mengetik dengan WordStar di DOS & MacWrite di Macintosh. Apa yang diketik adalah apa yang diprint. What you see is what you get.<br />
<br />
Bukan dengan ^Btag seperti ini^B.<br />
<br />

<br />
Di brosur juga dijabarkan sekilas teknologi yang digunakan dengan bahasa sederhana & mudah dipahami awam. Seperti bagian penggunaan disket 3½ inch di Macintosh yang saat itu belum populer dibandingkan disket 5¼ inch "they are small enough to fit in a shirt pocket."<br />
<br />
Kemudian juga digunakannya polyphonic sound generator yang bisa generate suara manusia dengan kualitas tinggi atau musik. Untuk awam, feature ini membukakan gagasan baru berkomputer: mereka bisa belajar bahasa asing atau membuat musik sederhana di rumah.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
Selain geek dan tech nerd, siapa yang mengenal Bill Gates saat itu? Microsoft masih belum besar, tapi Steve Jobs merasa perlu menaruh dia dalam brosur ini sebagai gambaran bahwa Macintosh didukung developer-developer muda berbakat. Quote Bill Gated di brosur ini:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
To create a new standard takes something that's not just a little bit different. It takes something that's really new, and captures people's imaginations. Macintosh meets that standard.</blockquote>
Brosur ini merupakan salah satu amunisi penting dalam launching Macintosh. Copy & layout dirancang sedemikian rupa, terlihat ramah & hangat. Para engineer yang membidani Macintosh pun disertakan, memperlihatkan bahwa Macintosh bukan sekedar komputer, tapi juga maha karya para engineer-nya.<br />

What can you do with an old MessagePad? Painting! With NewtPaint software, 1-bit painting is fun, just like the old days of MacPaint or DrHalo.

<br />
Setelah berhasil jajal serial-to-USB connection, sekarang mencoba koneksi LAN via AppleTalk, LocalTalk atau EtherTalk. Dan siapa tahu bisa mencoba berinternet.<br />
<br />
Berhubung di pasar loak cuma nemu W-LAN card, ya sudah coba dulu dengan wireless network. Saat dicolok ke PCMCIA card, cuma punya LinkSys yang powernya menyala. Sayang responnya negatif: card tidak dikenal!<br />
<br />
Browsing sana sini, dapat informasi buruk: Ethernet tidak disupport oleh MessagePad 130 dengan Newton OS 2.0 & Newton Internet Enabler 1.1. Ethernet hanya bisa digunakan di MessagePad 2000, 2100 & eMate 300 dengan Newton OS 2.1 & Newton Internet Enabler 2.0.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>If you are looking for a way to get Ethernet connectivity for your Original MessagePad (OMP), MessagePad 100, MessagePad 110, MessagePad 120 or MessagePad 130, you are out of luck. Ethernet connectivity requires version 2.0 of the Newton Internet Enabler which, unfortunately, is only available for Newton OS 2.1</i></blockquote>
(dari <a href="http://www.pda-soft.de/body_ethernetconnectivity.html">PDA-Soft.de</a>)<br />
<br />
Tapi dari <a href="http://www.faqs.org/faqs/palmtops/newton/faq/hardware/">website ini</a>, sepertinya ada satu wireless networking card yang dikenal oleh MessagePad 120 (tipe sebelum 130) tanpa driver, yaitu DaynaCOMM Roamer. Dan sudah pasti barang begini sangat amat langka.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>I purchased the Roamer (a PC card wireless networking device) and a DaynaCOMM Network </i><i>Access Point from e-bay a couple of months ago, but just today tried to get</i><i>them working. I have no trouble using a 2.0 MP120 with them, and seem to</i><i>ba able to access my home Apple Talk network wirelessly.</i></blockquote>
Menginstall driver Ethernet card juga tidak membantu. Padahal card LinkSys yang dibeli tercantum dalam daftar yg disupport oleh driver <a href="http://www.drvlabo.jp/old/eng/newtwave.htm">ini</a>.<br />
<br />
Bagaimana dengan LocalTalk? <i>(updating...)</i>Pinot W. Ichwandardihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09570298249689077580noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8573940.post-88818855450133178912011-12-20T02:26:00.000-08:002011-12-20T04:12:20.005-08:00Newton di Jaman iOS<img height="400" src="https://p.twimg.com/Ag0bSNNCEAIPxQD.jpg" width="298" /><br />
<br />
Pertanyaan saat menggenggam Newton MessagePad 130, seberapa jauh teknologi 1995 ini beradaptasi dengan jaman teknologi iOS & Lion? <br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Komunikasi</b><br />
<br />
Newton MessagePad 130 ini menyediakan infrared, port serial DIN 8 & PCMCIA slot sebagai alternatif pertukaran data dengan device lain.<br />
<br />
Mana yang paling mungkin dilakukan? Infrared? Untuk sementara diabaikan karena urusan protokol IrDA atau IrTalk lebih njelimet urusannya di teknologi jaman sekarang. Lagipula Lion sudah cerai dengan teknologi OS Classic (tidak bisa menjalankan software Classic kecuali menggunakan emulator seperti <a href="http://sheepshaver.cebix.net/">SheepShaver</a>.)<br />
<br />
Yang paling gampang sepertinya adalah serial. Karena protokol serial masih dipakai hingga kini & converter serial to USB bukan barang langka. Kebetulan Newton ini disertai kabel converter dari DIN 8 ke serial PC biasa (DB9 atau RS-232). Jadi tinggal colok Bafo converter DB9 ke USB untuk ke MacBook. Software Mac yg digunakan adalah <a href="http://homepage.mac.com/simonbell/connection/">Newton Connection for MacOS X</a> (bukan dengan software official dari Apple karena sudah tidak bisa jalan di Lion. Lion hates classic, remember?)<br />
<br />
<img height="298" src="http://p.twimg.com/AhGNSM2CEAAd4wi.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="400" /><br />
<br />
Cara serial to USB ini berhasil. Dengan software NCX bisa sync, backup, restore, install software untuk Newton bahkan screen capture.<br />
<br />
Berikutnya LAN. Jalan-jalan ke pasar loak, nemu beberapa PCMCIA card tua seharga Rp 12000-15000. Iseng coba di rumah, colok ke Newton. 1-2 card tidak ada tanda-tanda kehidupan, mungkin memang sudah mati. Kecuali satu yang dari LinkSys, ada respon! Sayangnya responnya negatif "Newton doesn't recognize this card!"<br />
Saatnya berburu driver di internet! Lanjut lebih <a href="http://pinotmac.blogspot.com/2011/12/newton-dan-network.html">detail</a>.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Software-software Newton</b><br />
<br />
Ternyata masih tersedia banyak software-software pendukung untuk Newton tua ini. Satu tempat yang tepat adalah <a href="http://www.unna.org/">United Network of Newton Archives</a>. Perlu diketahui, beberapa software di tempat ini sebagian besar adalah Classic software, artinya ngga bisa dibaca di Lion kecuali menggunakan emulator SheepShaver. Jadi, menyiapkan 'environment' Classic di Lion adalah keharusan jika mau <i>ngoprek</i> Newton.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Berinternet?</b><br />
<b><br /></b><br />
Masih buntu. Karena Newton OS 2.0 di MessagePad 130 ini hanya bisa menggunakan hardware tertentu untuk bisa berinternet dan hanya terbatas menggunakan dial-up & PPP protocol. Hardware yang dibutuhkan adalah Apple Newton Modem atau PCMCIA modem dng X-jack connector (colok dengan kabel telpon biasa).<br />
Bagaimana dengan LAN atau ethernet? Atau wifi? Lanjut lebih <a href="http://pinotmac.blogspot.com/2011/12/newton-dan-network.html">detail</a>.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Berdaya guna atau hanya pajangan?</b><br />
<b><br /></b><br />
4 batere ukuran AA masih ada 1/4 dari sejak barang dikirim penjual di Amerika sana tgl 29 November 2011 - total sudah hampir 1 bulan belum ganti batere! Dengan batere yang awet seperti ini, layak buat mencatat, menulis draft, corat coret di PDA ini tanpa kepikiran batere bakal habis. Dokumen & data yang dibuat bisa di-sync ke Mac atau diteruskan ke iDevices lain.<br />
<br />
Atau buat eBook reader (dibutuhkan software converter) dengan layar yang cukup besar. Dibandingkan layar iPhone, Newton MessagePad 130 berlayar 320x240 monokrom cukup enak buat baca text berminggu-minggu tanpa ganti batere XD<br />
<br />
Oh, bahkan bisa buat lihat-lihat photo, asal diconvert jadi file 1bit hitam putih seperti gambar iPhone 4 di MessagePad atas. Video juga bisa. Tentu saja video 1bit hitam putih juga. Retro <i>ngga tanggung-tanggung</i>!<br />

I know it's a big late for playing with Newton. And it's a bit tough to get the supports in this iPad era. But still, it's fun! It's like having an old 1965 BMW R60 motorcycle.<br />

I was reading my old June 1997 WIRED issue on Apple condition lately. Some interesting points from the 101 ways how to save Apple.<br />
<br />

<br />
1. (point 7) Don't disappear from the retail chains. Rent space in a computer store, flood it with Apple products (especially software), staff it with Apple salespeople, and display everything like you're a living, breathing company and not a remote, dusty concept.<br />
<br />
<i> Apple Store. Done.</i><br />
<br />
2. (point 10) Get a great image campaign. Let's get some branding (or rebranding) going on. Reproduce the "1984" spot with a 1997 accent.<br />
<br />
<i> Think Different.</i><br />
<br />
3. (point 25) Portables, portables, portables. Pick the best-of-breed Wintel in each of the portable categories and then better it. Wintel has a fantastic range.<br />
<br />
<i> iPhone, iPod touch, iPad.</i><br />
<br />
4. (point 31) Build a PDA that less than $250 that actually does: cellular email, channel TV, internet phone.<br />
<br />
<i> iPod touch?</i><br />
<br />
5. (point 34) Port the OS to the Intel platform.<br />
<br />
<i> Done in 2005.</i><br />
<br />
6. (point 44) Continue your research on voice recognition.<br />
<br />
<i> Siri?</i><br />
<br />
7. (point 49) Bring back Andy Hertzfeld.<br />
<br />
<i> Google has him.</i><br />
<br />
8. (point 65) Roll out he Mac Plus again as a hip retro machine.<br />
<br />
<i> iMac. Done. But it's not a retro machine.</i><br />
<br />
9. (point 70) Simplify your PC product line.<br />
<br />
<i> Mobile & desktop. Consumer & Pro. Done.</i><br />
<br />

<br />
10. (point 92) With each new Mac, include a CD-ROM that explains the Apple family tree & future plans.<br />
<br />
<i> No need. Steve's keynotes explain everything.</i><br />
<br />
11. (point 101) Don't worry. You'll survive. It's Netscape we should really worry about.<br />
<br />
<i> Netscape? How about Safari?</i><br />
