[NTLK] Connecting with Mountain Lion?

[Kevin LaCombe]

Thanks Chris, I was headed that way.  That's a real bummer!  I think I still have the 2010 patch on the iMac from when I did my MP2100 and eMate back then.  I don't have a USB-serial adapter but I have an ethernet card and a flash card with the ethernet packages.  Come to think of it, I still have my PowerBook 3400 too.

I'm unfamiliar with Sheepsaver but will search around.

Are there any solutions for connecting with Mountain Lion (Mac Mini Core2Duo)?  I saw some chatter about NCX no longer working with Lion and it definitely doesn't work with Mountain Lion as it no longer supports PowerPC code.  My wife's MacBook has Lion but have not tried that yet.
