[NTLK] FS/Trade - Newton Serial cable for PC's - looking for Mac version

[Alan Grassia]

Hello Marisa and Newton Friends,

Yes, that is my recollection of the SE/30 and my Mac Classic, you needed to use the DIN-8 serial ports aka Modem and Printer ports.

The ADB (Apple Desktop Bus) ports only support keyboards, mice, and trackball input devices. 

Cheers,
Alan Grassia
