I'm using an ethernet card, and the Appletalk ADSP tool is present
(NBU installed it).

I gave it 50 MB but no avail. It still disconnects my Newton/iMac

able to backup about 1 month ago. Could I have some file damaged on
the Newton that is crashing NCU? I get error -1 on the mac after the
disconnection.
