Re: [NTLK] Intel MacBook Pro and Newton ?

I use my MessagePad 2100 with my MacBook Pro and it works fine...
except for syncing.

I primarily use Escale (part of the DCL: http://www.kallisys.com/
newton/dcl/en) for installing packages via TCP/IP (it's sync feature
is not functional) and have tried NewtSync, but was unsuccessful at
getting any of my data to actually complete the synchronization. The
most luck I've had is with a Pico BlueTooth card and Eckhart Köppen's
Blunt (http://www.40hz.org/Blunt/) BlueTooth stack. Of course, you're
limited in what files you can transfer back and forth via BlueTooth,
but it works great for notes and packages.

I have experimented with getting the Intel build of SheepShaver
(http://www.gibix.net/dokuwiki/en:projects:sheepshaver) working on my
MBP, but I haven't really been pushing myself too hard there. It'll
work eventually.
