[NTLK] Newton 2100 startup sound

[Matthias Melcher]

I am talking about the MacOS version. The iOS version should probably use some Serial-over-Ethernet emulation because running BasiliskII on iOS seems impossible thanks to Apple's idiotic restrictions.

However, there are no serial ports on the Mac anymore, and so I don't have an app that communicates with Einstein. Which app would you use on the host side, since Classic hasn't been available anymore for such a long time. NCX is an option, and I had that working for a while. Would it help if I picked that up again?
