TOPIC

    This article contains the Apple MessagePad 120 System Update 2.0 (516205)US Read Me document.


DISCUSSION

    This document describes the product enhancements included in the system update file named 'MessagePad 120 2.0 (516205)US'.

    System Update 2.0 (516205)US is for Apple MessagePad 120 customers in the United States. This version will install over the following system software versions for MessagePad 120:

    version 2.0 (515264)
    version 2.0 (515299)

    If this system update is already installed on your MessagePad, you will not damage your MessagePad by reinstalling the update. Also, you will not damage an original MessagePad, MessagePad 100, MessagePad110, MessagePad 130 or other Newton PDA if you attempt to install this system update by mistake.

    Before you install any system update, you should backup your MessagePad 120 with the Newton Backup Utility or to a storage PC card (PCMCIA card).

    New changes in System Update 2.0 (516205):

    Multi-page documents or faxes now print all pages correctly in landscape orientation.

    Fixed a problem with NBU Restore that would cause error -28207 and the unit to restart.

    Fixed a problem identifying some new PCMCIA modems, including the Megahertz CruiseCard XJ3288 28.8 LandLine/Cellular modems.

    Fixed a problem with changing sorting orders which could occur when switching between Swedish and English.

    Fixed a problem with applications that allocate large chunks of store memory. (This is particularly prevalent with applications that use the Newton Internet Enabler.)

    Tapping stop during installation with NBU of a package file or a System Update now works.

    The " MessagePad" text has been removed from the reset and sleep screens.

    The Stylewriter 1500 and 2500 have been added to the printer list.

    Pending alarms no longer trigger immediately after setting the clock to the day of the alarm.

    Deleting found ToDo's from the Find overview no longer causes a -48809 error.

    Fixes in System Update 2.0 (515299) REMOVED in System Update 2.0 (516205): (In order to provide enough memory space for fixes of the above serious problems, the following fixes from the earlier patch have been removed.)

    Removed a fix that allowed items located with Find in the I/O Boxes to be filed to new folders.


    The "annotation button" in the Bookplayer toolbar will not be underlined when annotations exist on the current book page until the Annotation button is tapped.

    Creating a new meeting/event by dragging text via the clipboard (eg from the Notepad) will create a alarm time that is random if you set the default alarm time(s) to something besides 'none'. You will have to correct the alarm time after closing and re-opening the new meeting.
