I actually stumbled on that rom image site, thanks, and my emulator seems to
be up and running fine, and I was able to back up the whole newton without a
problem, though I'm still worried about trying to brianwipe, I want to make
sure it's stable, Ive had issues with it in the past on windows; though that
was win98 and not 2k. Thanks also to Victor (I believe) for the full image
of newton dev and connection with os, makes life a hell of a lot easier!

Yes, sorry Andre, I forgot there's no backup battery in the 2x00s - seems as
though I had a brain-wipe myself. Shame the training trick didn't work
either.
To help you with the Mac ROMs, try this most useful page which was posted a
few weeks ago (thanks to whoever-it-was):
http://www.lofi-gaming.org.uk/emulation/Essential_Files/essential_files.shtm
l
...I got my stuff from there. Also posted recently was another source of a
DiskCopy image file of a complete Mac OS 7.5.5 (I think it's on UNNA) for
use with Basilisk. I'll see if I can find the URL sometime. Let us know
how you get on with Basilisk - I would like to try it myself when there's
more time.
