Now Sync works with versions of Now Up to Date version 3.9. Version 4 broke
the sync capabilities. I use a Keyspan Serial Adapter, and am very happy
with it. I haven't found anything yet that doesn't work, except iTunes and
the Newton iTunes plugin. But for that, I pull out my ethernet card and
localtalk adapter that I have lying around. :-)
