Hello everybody, I've been following the list about three weeks now
because I purchased a Newton 2000 off eBay. The unit was in great
condition, except for the battery was shot and there was no dongle. I
ordered a Keyspan usb to serial adapter and a SER-001 board so that I
would have some way of connecting my Newton to my PB. Now I am having
some trouble:
I've installed NCU under classic on my PB and the SER-001 board into my
newton and they both work; just not together. The problem is NCU does
not detect the newton through the serial connection. I also tried
NewtonDILTester, but that program was not able to connect to my newton
through serial either. I have used NewtSync, Newten, Escale to transfer
data and packages and they all work fine; but I want to be able to
backup my newton on my computer though. Currently I have no other way
of connecting my newton to my computer, just the serial connection.
I've been searching for a solution to my problem for about 2 days not
and I still have not found one. I searched through Newton FAQs,
WikkiWikkiNewt, this mailing list, Unna.org and Google with no answer.
I looked at most tutorials, but they have not helped.
Any help with connecting my Newton through classic with NCU or NBU
would be appreciated. Or a way of backing up through OS X natively
would work. I've installed the drivers for the serial adapter in both
OS X and classic and it is recognized in both. It feels like classic is
not communicating to the adapter.
Thanks,
Tony
