First models of the MessagePad were being sold without a backlight, but since it was installed in the MessagePad 130, 2000, 2100 and eMate, the Newton afforded easier to become the main computer on the workbench of many users. So often one would want to illuminate his Newton desk to get a better detail of the paper which is being digitalized, or just to have a white light shining on the keyboard, and so these are the features of the NewtLed, a led-light powered by the Messagepad serial port!
NewtLed is compatible with any MessagePad / eMate and can be activated via software using the dedicated NewtLight application wrote by Frank Gruendel.
