That's because Newton Connection Utilities (NCU) and Newton Backup
Utilities (NBU) are both for MessagePads running the Newton OS 2.0 or
better. Your MessagePad 100 is running Newton OS 1.3, so they will only
let you do a backup, *NO* installation.
For your MP, you need the "Newton Connection Kit" (NCK), version 2.0 or
better. Problem is, I really don't know where you can find the beast. I
checked NewtonCage and NewtonMad image on www.sunder.net and could only
find the Windows version of NCK, but no Macintosh version. BTW, the
Windows version can be found at:
<http://www.sunder.net/newtonmad/apple/nck.zip>, or you can look in:
<http://www.sunder.net/newtonmad/apple/nck/>
If someone can chime in with the location of the Macintosh version, that
would be great!
Good luck!
