Before I was able to install anything, I actually used a Pismo to
install some packages (I believe the Newton was freshly restored and all
when I got it, unless some kind of IR drivers stuff was installed (not
nitro)) I used Newton Data Browser (
http://www.tempel.org/newton/#DILplugin ) on the Pismo started up in Mac
OS 9 (not in Classic under X). Set your Dock on the Newton to connect
via IR. I suppose you could give that a try. It took me a couple of
tries to get it right. At least if you get it to work, you could make
sure it has all the correct networking stuff installed in order to sync
in a fashion you might prefer.
