Section A:
Sorry, Laurent - some of us are on the digest. :) My reply and your
reply were both in #744.
And that's great news about the TCPSerial workaround; I was pretty
heartbroken when I upgraded to 10.1 and my NTK stopped working. Once I
finish working through the tutorial, I plan to release scads of pointless
Newton apps...
Section B:
Here's another thing I'd like to know - who's got NCU working with
wireless AppleTalk on Jaguar with a Created Network (Software Base
Station) setup? Anyone? If I set AppleTalk to AirPort under 10.2 System
Preferences:Network, NCU complains that AppleTalk is not available. I
have been able to get it to work sporadically using the following procedure:
1) Set AppleTalk to Ethernet in System Preferences:Network
2) Launch Classic and NCU
3) Change AppleTalk setting in System Preferences:Network to AirPort
This gives me between 15 and 30 minutes of wireless AppleTalk
connectivity, as long as I don't quit NCU or Classic. However, even if I
keep NCU open, Classic eventually somehow "figures out" that AppleTalk is
no longer routing to Ethernet, and I lose the ability to connect
wirelessly. I'm using a Lucent IEEE compatible card in a MP2000u and a
Tibook w/AirPort, and the whole thing works flawlessly if I boot to 9.2.2.
Section C:
Does Backup and Restore of packages using AppleTalk over Ethernet on NCU/
Classic/Jaguar work for anybody? I've increased the memory allocation for
NCU, tried both wired and wireless Ethernet, and I get the same results;
everything appears to be going along fine, but all Restores fail
somewhere during the actual data transfer, and I have to reboot my Newton.
