While NewTen (http://www.panic.com/~stevenf/index.php?node=NewTen)
works natively with OS X, it only installs packages. Apple's NCU
(which is what you want for a Newt with OS 2.0 or 2.1) also includes
backup and import features. It requires Classic. And I think
NewtSync/nSync was already mentioned.
While the 130 has more heap than the 2000, it lacks the second PCMCIA
slot and the ability to use ethernet and wireless cards.
NewtSync/nSync will work with either.
