I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm too new to the Newt to be entirely
sure what this is. Put another way, I'd love to say "yes please" but I
uncertain exactly what I'm agreeing to.
I can see it's a way of giving the Newton a USB port; USB on a Newton would
be a great idea IMO. What I'm not sure of is how it's to be implemented.
Is this something I just plug into my 2100 myself, or does it have to be
installed somehow into my Newton, possibly requiring me to choose between
attempting an installation myself or sending it away and being without a
brain for a fortnight or longer?
Sorry if this seems like a stupid question, and if you're tempted to growl
"Go back and read the =EF=AC=82=E2=82=AC=C2=A2=E2=80=B9=C2=A1#=C2=A7 original post!!!", I plead that form=
of
temporary insanity known as newbie-ism. I'm still climbing/crawling up the
learning curve and don't understand exactly what I'd be pre-ordering.
