Curses, hit the send button instead of discard. That said, while I'm here, I will note that I feel it would be more inconvenient to carry a serial adapter for a Pismo than leaving a few cards in the side of a Wallstreet for USB and WiFi. YMMV.

I run NTK / Mac OS 9 in Basilisk II on Mac OS X 10.9 and I can connect via Keyspan USB-serial adapter to the Toolkit app for debugging Newton code just fine.

I don’t remember doing anything special to make this magic happen, but I must say it’s pretty cool!
