If your Newton is a 120 with 1.3 OS, you can't use NCU (Newton
Connection
Utilities). You will have to use NCK (Newton Connection Kit) which, as
pretty much everything for the Newton, is available at www.unna.org.
I'm not sure about OS X, but for systems up to Mac OS 9 you need the
Apple Modem Tool and the AppleTalk ADSP Tool in your Mac's Extensions
folder. If you are using OS X, why not try booting the Mac in Classic
mode and check if the extensions are there?
