[NTLK] Newton USB Dongle

[Jeff Sheldon]

Good grief.  Being a Mac guy, I forgot entirely about the Wintel
RS-232 communication cable.  I'm only seeing reference to Linear's
LTC1323 RSS-422 chip in the Interconnect docs, so I'm guessing Apple
chipped the cable itself, a fairly early approach for such a practice.

I had a prolific-chipset cable but the driver was causing my machine to crash, so I decided to get the FDTI since it was more compatible, and apparently did not need drivers (though I do a lot of tinkering so its possible I had a driver installed for another device.
