Data Rescue

Experience tragically shows that the most vulnerable part of your beloved Newton
MessagePad is its display. In the case of a damaged display it is not possible to
write anything on it anymore. You cannot even get your data back!

This little package does nothing but automatically open the Connection slip and wait
for your desktop machine to get into contact. You will then be able to back up your
data from the desktop using the Newton Backup Utilities or similar software.
Data Rescue does so when it is installed, e.g. when a card is inserted or the
MessagePad is reset. Of course, you will not want to have this active all the time,
but in an emergency case it can be installed via a second MessagePad.

Caution: an error message may appear after installation indicating that the serial
port is already in use. This is not a problem since it coincides with the goal of
Data Rescue!

If you can get your valuable data back, please remember me!...$
