No dice.
I'm using a normal serial cable. The cable has 8 conductors and the shield.
It isn't broken in any way that I can detect. It's two meters long, but I
seriously doubt that the problem is resistive loss.
I can't connect over serial or AppleTalk using that cable. My Newton simply
doesn't see the PowerBook. Either that or the PowerBook doesn't reply to my
Newton.
