[NTLK] Newton Syncing in 2013

[Vladislav Korotnev]

You can sync the eMate using the old (round plug) serial port. It's not only appletalk, but also serial as on the older MP's.
 Any Serial-to-usb should work if it has a mac driver (I made one myself just for shits and giggles and still use it).
Welcome to the list!
