My first Newt (a 2.0 MP120) should be delivered within the next few days. I
think one of these adapters would be great for connecting the Newton to my
old iBook because they're much cheaper (and, hopefully faster) than a
USB/Serial adapter (which can go for $60+). I went to the Farallon web
site, and found that they have an EtherMac adapter like this and one called
"iPrint." Would either one work just fine with this Newt? Would I need any
special software or drivers for the Newt? Also, is there somewhere online
where I can get Newton Connection Utilities (just in case I can't get it on
a CD of some sort)? Thanks. I'm sure I'll have plenty more questions to
ask once the MP120 gets here, haha.
