Mike,
I don't know if it can help you, but look what I found here.
(DataRescue.pkg)
"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!...$
