Alternatively, you could try to get a SER-001 from David (?) Humphreys, if
he still has a few available. The SER-001 is a DIN-8 serial connector that
you install in your Newton and in doing so, provides serial connections
without the need of the "Interconnect Port Adapter" (AKA the infamous
dongle)...
