Are you sure it's a standard PC connection. Only connection I know of on a
standard Newton 2x00 is the NIC port.
You can get a dongle for this that accepts a Mac mini-DIN 8 male plug. The
Newton serial dongle can be had for pretty penny on E-bay, J&K Sales (?),
Philly discounters, or GEM enterprises.
A number of people on this list have manufactured similar add-ins (SER-001
comes to mind), but these are as rare and as hard to come by as the serial
dongles.
If you can get the SER-001 board from somewhere, it's probably your best
best for fuss-free keyboarding for the long term.
