Hi Gao:
I'm not following this thread but I would like to know why you did not use
an USB to Serial adaptor to connect to your Cube? Sorry if this is not the
point or if this has been suggested to you before.

Subject: [NTLK] Connection Problem
Hi all!
Thanks to Andre for your solution on the ethernet card. Well, my Cube won't
need it 'cause it has one in it already. But probably I will get an ethernet
card for my MP2100.
But the next problem is, by buying an ethernet card wouldn't the MP will
have to install the driver first before it recognises the card?
If that's the case, how do I achieve connectivity between my MP and my Cube
before I can even install the driver to the MP for the ethernet card to be
recognise? Or is it when I insert in the card, Newton OS will just recognise
it as a generic ethernet card and will carry on functioning as a normal
ethernet card before I install the driver for the card?
If all the above is true, then I will proceed to buy an ethernet card for my
MP2100. And by the way, my OMP just arrive and was wondering will it able to
connect to my Cube as my MP2100 is going to try?
You know after all this "commotion" about connectivity to my Cube, I was
even thinking of getting back my old Performa 580 which I gave to my sister
when I'm moved house recently. I still had my Color Classic though it
doesn't start-up any more...
Thanks in advance!
