Alright, so I decided to try and get NCU working again while I wait for
my $4.00 prolific usb->serial converter to arrive. I am running a
slowdown program that allows you to specify a percentage to slow down a
particular program. Using 1-5% allows me to transfer notes just fine,
but I still get a communications error (-1) whenever I try to export
works files. It gets to the point where it asks me what works files to
export, and while I'm choosing, the newton says "waiting for a
response...". I then choose the file I want, hit export, and that's when
the communication error happens. Has anyone seen this before?

==================================================================== 

Yeh, admirable how you are able to regulate that.

You know as "high tech and advanced" as the Newton OS was often toated, and I agreed with that, my big beef was the transfer speeds with other devices.   15 minutes to transfer a 4mb mp3 over a direct network link?   Please!!
