nSych looks awesome (how 'bout the icon?), and I really hope that I can
make use of it. (It is running as I write this, albeit very slowly)
Can't wait for the iCal support.
I am VERY new to Newton, so you'll have to excuse my lack of knowledge.
I JUST received my Newton MP2000, and have been lurking for a couple
weeks (before I even had my Newton). I have been experiencing many
problems regarding syncing my Newton to anything! (PC or Mac). For the
Mac, I have a PowerMac G3 300MHz BEIGE. I am running 10.2.1 on it but
I'm not certain how well it communicates through the older 8 pin serial
connections. I was easily successful in getting NewTen to install the
package, and it is easily running the scripts. Any idea on the
throughput of the serial connection? I thought it was supposed to be
38400? Should know by tomorrow morning how it goes.
Anyway, my PC is 2.0GHz processor, so I tried the "slowdown.exe" app to
see if I could get it to perform a full backup to no avail (which seems
to be the only thing that fails). I have tried to use LookOut, but I
can't seem to figure it out, or I'm having trouble connecting. Is there
a User Manual for this app? I can't seem to have it extract the records
from Outlook, and communication between the PC and Newt is sketchy at
best. I also seem to have better luck with package installs if I
initiate them from the Newt.
Back to MacOS. I received the "Newton Connection Kit for Macintosh
v.2.0" with my Newt, but when I installed it on OS 9.2.2 and connected
to my Newt, it told me that it wouldn't work with my model??!! Is this
for older Newton's (MP100-130)? This really threw me for a loop. I
have only been able to get a good backup on a flash card. I'd
definitely feel more secure if I could get a backup on a desktop
(either).
I have quite a bit of information in MS Outlook on my PC connected to an
Exchange Server (no choice), and would rather not have to go through
re-entering all of that info. Still trying to figure out how to sync
that info with my Mac, but I had hoped that the Newton could be my
middle man (so-to-speak). Any ideas why I'm having such problems?
.oO Love what this newsgroup represents!! Keep up the GREAT work *<;o)

nSync looks great and is just what I've been waiting for. However I'm
experiencing "issues" ;-)
I've tried both today's releases and when I eventually tease it into
finding my Newton (I have trouble finding it with NewTen sometimes as
well) the Newton side seems to fall over. So far I've seen a -8007 error
and a couple of Newton reboots, all occurring early in the AddressBook
part of the synch. Turning off the AddressBook synch and just
synchronising the clock works fine.
Has anyone else seen this?
I have an MP120, Keyspan USA-28 Serial-USB adapter and am running
10.2.1.
Thanks in advance
