Most USB to serial adapters will run in the classic environment of OSX.
I use a Keyspan adapter and can easily sync my 2000 using NCU2 while in
OSX. You don't need any third party application other than the adapter
drivers/control panel.
Before the MP2000, I also had a MP120 which I could sync using the same
method while in OSX. If you have a 2000/2100, you can always interface
directly with OSX using AppleTalk via Ethernet. I do this with the
2000, but it eats up batteries. But it communicates natively with
AppleTalk in OSX and NCU2 and access the 2000 through this Ethernet
connection.
Don' know if this is what you're looking for in terms of info, but I
hope it helps. Nothing sweeter than running OSX and still being able to
sync the Newton.
