I thought a Type A was the rectangular one, and the B was the larger
square? and then there was the mini B. Or am I all messed up?

In any case, I think I would prefer the larger square one.

BTW, where, exactly, will the "driver" software be located--so that
you can plug in the Newton to a modern machine? on the computer or on
the Newton?

In other words, how will the computer see the Newton, and how will the
computer see the computer? Or will there be driver software on the pcb
so that the Newton sees serial and the computer sees USB? How will
this work software-wise? Thanks
