The white backlight is an aftermarket addition.

Stay far away from this. It is probably just a pirated copy of the
UNNA CDs. UNNA (http://www.unna.org) is the most complete archive
around, and if you feel like buying a CD for your convenience, the
proceeds go to keeping the archive up, not to lining some scheming
chump's pocket.

Yep. I believe that the Keyspan adaptor has had the best results for
list members, but others will chime in on this.

nSync is still in the works, but it's what you're looking for
sync-wise (http://www.everchanging.com/newton). NewTen
(http://www.panic.com/~stevenf/index.php?node=NewTen) is one of the
package installation options.

Paul Guyots ATA driver is what you need for that
