It runs under Classic or 9.2.2 for that matter. The problem that you're
running into is that Newton Toolkit expects a serial port to be available,
even if you can configure it to use AppleTalk. Since you mention Mac OS X, I
take it that you're using a fairly recent Mac that lacks any serial port.
So, you need something that will tell NTK that there is a serial port and it
will make it happy. I use TCPSerial, which is an extension that can use
TCP/IP to send serial. Once you installed, it, just restart Classic. Then,
open NTK and it shouldn't complain. You will then have to select 'AppleTalk'
in NTK preferences. That means that you need a Newton that can use an
Ethernet card.
I think you can also use a serial-to-USB adapter, like the one made by
Keyspan. I'm guessing that Paul Guyot must use some kind of those adapters
since he's doing low level debugging that works only over a serial port of
some sort.
