Thanks for the information Christopher and David (and the emailed info
as well Christopher). It doesn't sound like they will too difficult to
obtain.
Your support is great :-)
I have issues with the comment David that "The NIC (where the dongle
plugs in) is a good design if not a little fragile. Just imagine how
silly (and how much larger) the Newton would have to be if all of the
connectors were located on the Newton itself." Apple managed to fit a
serial port into the smaller MP130. Plus there appears to be space for a
serial port under the lift-up flap (on the RHS looking from the top)
that has been filled in with a piece of plastic.

Adam
