Brian,

Granted, I haven't been following along most of the discussions, but
what would the USB board do? Would it be a proper USB interface for
the Newton, allowing a direct connection to sync with a host computer
(Mac & PC)? Or would it just be a powered USB port similar to Adriano
Angelillis' NewtLight and NewtEye accessories?

If it is indeed an interface to simplify the task of synchronizing,
and the cost will be similar to the SER-001, then please add my name
to the interest list.

- Claus.
