TOPIC
This article describes the ROM and system update versions that shipped with the MessagePad 110 beginning on March 4, 1994.
DISCUSSION The Newton MessagePad 110 ships with ROM version 1.2. Installed at the factory is a system update bringing the ROM up to version 1.3. You can see which version of the system software you have installed on the MessagePad by going to the preferences screen. The version is listed at the bottom. Starting with the release of the MessagePad 110, the version number also includes a special service control number, in parenthesis, designating the physical ROM the system update works with. For future system updates, this number will remain the same. Use this control number to identify which system update to install on your MessagePad. The first update version number is "1.3 (344052)" and appears in the preferences screen. The service control number in parenthesis are part of the ROM version number. If there is ever an update to the ROM, you would end up with a different ROM number. For example system software 1.31, 1.32, or 1.4. |
