Hi Charles

Sorry to jump into someone else's discussion, but I was just wondering
if you have 2 Keyspan adapters or 1. I was told that you could not have
the OSX and OS9 drivers installed at once as they would not work. I
would like to be able to use NewTen for installing packages and
NewtSync for sync'ing, but also need NCU for transferring RTF files. As
the transferring of RTF files is the priority I have installed the
Keyspan drivers in OS9 and run NCU under Classic. If you have found a
way to have both drivers working together I would be interested to know
how you managed it.

Regards

Dave
