Il me semble que le 5/5/03 à 08:18 -0700, Paul Skenazy nous racontait:

You need to select the Belkin ports in NCU preferences. If the port
does not show up, you need a driver. If it shows up, it might or
might not work, depending on the compatibility of these drivers with
the Classic environment. I don't know about the Belkin, you probably
want to check their website or whatever. The Keyspan adapter works
fine here with both OS X and Classic drivers.

This isn't possible now because of lack of software. And it probably
will never be as easy as you seem to think. The reason is that
NewtonOS and MacOS X definitely do not store data the same way.
