For your storage needs, you could maybe consider getting the ATA driver
<http://www.kallisys.com/> and then buy a cheap compact flash or something
similar with the PCMCIA adapter to fit your Newton.
For your Internet needs, I would strongly recommend that you get a small
router that will act as a gateway between your Macintosh and your Newton, on
one side, and your cable modem on the other side. Get a cheap Ethernet card
for your Newton and you'll have the best connection you could imagine (OK,
maybe wireless would be nicer, but still!). That will save you a lot of time
and errors that you will certainly spend to make an internet connection
working over LocalTalk/Serial.
