[NTLK] USB <-> SERIAL Cable for Apple Newton MessagePad 1x0, 2x00 & eMate 300

Hi Pawel,

Your cable sounds great! I’ll keep an eye out for your updates. I’d certainly be interested in one.

Thanks to Sylvian for the “refresher” on NCX…like a few others here I lost touch with Newts for a while.

Also the cable Nic refers to is not currently available on Amazon UK.

Thanks everyone.

The FTD232RL chipset is working on all MacOS (even the old Classic MacOS with USP support - so if you have old Mac with USB and you run Classic 9.2, you can use this cable too). I’ve tested my cable with Ventura. Working like a charm.
