No, you don't need both, unless you have to do a hard reset on your Newton,
thus erasing all the internal memory. Then, you would need some kind of
serial connection of some sort, or AppleTalk running on LocalTalk cabling.

coaster n.: 1. Unuseable CD produced during failed attempt at writing to
writeable or re-writeable CD media. Certainly related to the coaster-like
shape of a CD, and the relative value of these failures. "I made a lot of
coasters before I got a good CD." 2. Useless CDs received in the mail from
the likes of AOL, MSN, CI$, Prodigy, ad nauseam.
