Mine came with 3,5mm (for the Pocket Reader) to Sub-D 9 (female).
You need a *null-modem* male/male Sub-D 9 adaptor (somewhat hard to
find without a looong cable in between) as well as the Newton
Interconnect to Sub-D 9 (female) cable - and you're done!
The good part: Anyone trying to take your Newton can be secured to a
massive tree with the resulting piece of cable.
