A lucky find on a recent local flea market.
- Apple-Newton (OMP)-based Siemens-branded telephone (German version only)
- This Newton has a special case so the Siemens modem (box on the right) can be attached (very firmly) to it
- The Newton plus the modem can be used separately from the phone
- The Power Supply connects to the modem which then can feed the Newton (this PSU is a generic 7V one; no need for the very special Newton PSU)
- Then the two devices can be attached to the phone via a connector hinge
- The modem would use the phone as its connection to the telephone line so you could dial a call from the Newton’s contact list or send a fax directly
- The phone itself does not need any external power supply
