Eckhart Köppen is looking for testers for his eMate and German MP2100 Year 2010 patch. He says on his blog:
The Y2010 patches for the eMate and German MP2100 are ready, and they seem to work fine here, but I’d still like to give them more testing. Like with the first Y2010 patch, I’m looking for people who can either risk bricking a Newton (with me unbricking it), or who have access to a US MP2x00 to unbrick a Newton themselves via a ROM board swap. Note that I don’t expect any unbricking to be necessary, but you never know.
If you have a spare eMate or Deutschland MessagePad, you can help prevent Newtpocalypse.
