Just so I'm getting this right - this card lets you use Bluetooth in
your Newton; always there, always available. So, with the right
software, or if we can convince the Newton Dock software to work with
it, it could be used for file transfers and so forth between the Newt
and a computer?
If that's pretty much the story, if you're not going to mass produce
them, once you've perfected it would you at least be willing to share
the design plans and part specs with those of us who don't mind
making our own printed circuit boards? Because I would love to be
able to sync my Newt data and my computer data without having to go
to one of my classic Macs to do it.
Seriously, if this can work, it'd really be great. Better even than
being able to hook up a USB keydrive to it.
