Alright, so I decided to try and get NCU working again while I wait for
my $4.00 prolific usb->serial converter to arrive. I am running a
slowdown program that allows you to specify a percentage to slow down a
particular program. Using 1-5% allows me to transfer notes just fine,
but I still get a communications error (-1) whenever I try to export
works files. It gets to the point where it asks me what works files to
export, and while I'm choosing, the newton says "waiting for a
response...". I then choose the file I want, hit export, and that's when
the communication error happens. Has anyone seen this before?

Thanks,
Jeremy
