Correct.

I use a generic PCMCIA LAN-adapter for the laptop ("Best Connectivity" says the
label, don't even know whether this is a claim or a brand name). For the Newt 2100
it's this card:

I have Basilisk installed and Victor's handy disk image with NCU
already on it:

Of course you need to have an old Mac's ROM for Basilisk to work,
in my case it's Quadra 650's. Due to the memory restrictions of my
Compaq 1575 I have to be careful with memory allocation. 16 MB of
memory I have reserved for Basilisk. You grab yourself an ethernet
crossover cable, plug in, and huzzah, you should be golden.

At least I hope so.

Enjoy!

Best,

Marcus

P.S.: Be aware that Basilisk loads a little bit sluggishly under
circumstances like these. And you won't be able to do many
other things besides connecting to your Newt while Basilisk is on.
