People. Honestly, I can't believe we have to cover this every 3 weeks or =
so.
Your Powerbook has an Ir port, no? Your Newton definitely has one. What =
the
(use your imagination) do you need a dongle or a cable for? The dongle's =
are
crap at best-cost money and are getting harder to find-not to mention =
the
risk to your motherboard and serial cables are a cost you don't have to
incur.
Borrow a card from me, or from someone and have them put Eckhart =
K=F6ppen's Ir
drivers on it and you're done with it.
I'd type out the instructions AGAIN, but I'm tired of doing that. Search =
the
archives or just go to 40hz.org and download to a card, Nitro, Neo, and
IC/VC. Do the installs, read the docs. Well, there, I told you how =
AGAIN.
Now just go and do it.
Just in case Powerbooks don't have Ir Ports, my apologies.
Best Regards,
Paul Curtis

John talks a lot of sense - a bit of struggle may seem like time- =
wasting
but it really will enable you to get to grips with that strange thing =
that
is a Newt!
On a more practical level - the boot strapping problem is just that - a
problem to be solved. And yes a card swop is one way but it is only a
temporary initial solution. I would suggest that you try to get hold of =
a
dongle for the Newt->serial cable, a serial cable and a USB adapter so =
that
you can connect to your Powerbook. This should solve your immediate =
problem
of providing a conduit for getting software onto the Newt using either =
NCU
(if you can get it to work) or NewTen.
You will need the Wi-fi driver (see the relevant unna/wiki page) and pay =
the
shareware fee.
Good luck!
Brian
