You bought a Newton-to-PC (DB-9 Female) cable. As I described in my
post last week, to connect to the serial port on your PB1400 or your
Wallstreet, you additionally need a generic PC DB-9 (Male) to Mac
Mini-Din 8 (Male) adapter.

A quick search on Google found one (with a picture) here:

The price is rather steep, but you can probably get a better price with
a more thorough search - I also found this site showing one for $9.99:

but for some reason images don't load for me.

HTH...
