Hi List,
I've been reading about the brainwipe to clear off the Newton and
start fresh, and I think I'm going to do it. However, I do not have a
dongle or serial cable, but I do have a wireless card that is
currently working. I also have a 4MB flash card to store necessary
packages.
I have read that certain packages will not install without the serial
dongle, so even if I have everything I need to connect wirelessly, I
won't be able to install them.
Is anyone aware of a workaround to this? I basically want to back up
everything on the Newton to my iBook, erase the card, store the
necessary packages to connect wirelessly on the card, do the
brainwipe, then reload the packages from card to Newton.
If this can work I'll post something in the Wiki for others to use in
the future.
Thanks!
