I did export all my time entries from TimeReporter yesterday using their
transfer tool which, like NCU, uses AppleTalk, and didn't have any problem.
When I got home, I decided to do a backup of both my internal memory and my
32 MB flash RAM card (1/3 full). Didn't have any problem. I'm running 10.2.3
on my Pismo. I would suggest that you reboot in 9 and make sure that
AppleTalk is active. But NCU and TR Data Transfer both work through
AppleTalk in Classic. Heck, TR Data Transfer only a choice of "Printer",
"Modem" and "Printer/Modem" for the port (both of which my Pismo lacks) and
it did connect happily to my Newton!

brute force adj.: Describes a primitive programming style, one in which the
programmer relies on the computer's processing power instead of using his or
her own intelligence to simplify the problem, often ignoring problems of
scale and applying naive methods suited to small problems directly to large
ones. The term can also be used in reference to programming style:
brute-force programs are written in a heavyhanded, tedious way, full of
repetition and devoid of any elegance or useful abstraction (see also brute
force and ignorance).
