Actually, though I still had problems getting NCU to work in Classic on
my TiBook through the Keyspan USB-serial adapter, I ended up lowering
my standards and installing it on my old Windows 98 ThinkPad 570e. And
it worked, first time 'round. Imagine that. And the ThinkPad has a
serial port, so no USB adapter necessary.

I was able to export notes as .rtf files that I could read in Wordpad
on my laptop, and they could even contain drawings and ink text, so I
consider that a 99% success (the missing 1% is that so far I can't get
it to work on the Mac).
