I have been trying to get the DIL to work, but for
some reason, I can't get the Newt to recognize my
Windows IP...I'm still trying though...
But, the easiest way I've found to send data to the
Newt from a Windows machine is by using Basilisk. In
Basilisk, set up the "C:" drive as another drive on
your Mac desktop and you can access anything on your
PC through your emulated Mac OS. Then you can send
stuff to your Newt. I've only done this twice, so I'm
not too familiar with the details.
