[NTLK] Dongle-less 2000U

[Christoph Schröder]

Hi Aaron,

You can also use an Ethernet card to sync to your Newton. You only need the driver on your Newton and that maybe a problem.

You could send me your Newton and I could install everything, but the shipping to Germany is expensive. Maybe There is someone in Australia.

Cheers christoph

Their dongle prices are equally steep - but the ebay lottery hasn't turned up any alternatives either. And even with a dongle, I'd still need an appropriate interposer cable or PCIE serial card.
