Unlike MacOS 9, MacOS X doesn't include the necessary IrDA protocols
to talk to the Newton's built-in Dock IrDA. Hence Escale doesn't do
IrDA.

There is no plan within the DCL team to either:
- write these missing bits ourselves.
- write adapters for the other protocols provided by Nitro.

The rationale is that we don't have IrDA hardware on the Mac side.

Your adapter very probably isn't usable with Classic anyway.
