[NTLK] NetTime for 711000

Thu Apr 11 05:35:20 EDT 2019

Yes, I have seen his site, and have gone so far as to also download on a suitable Mac (Beige G3 running OS9) the tools I would need to attempt modifications, but that is as far as I got. Too many other time constraints.

(The Beige G3 is IMHO one of the best machines for working with the Newton. OS9, Serial ports, built-in Ethernet and the option of a USB card, [although it is only v1.1].)

I was not aware of the likely incompatibility regarding Google, https and the Newton OS, that is good to know. I was quite taken by this idea a couple of years ago, but it has since been left behind in favor of other projects.

Mahalo,
Forrest

>>> To inform you that I have made a small update of NetTime. You will again find the Automatic Synchronization option (which had disappeared) allowing your Newton to synchronize its clock with that of the TP servers, as soon as an Internet connection is opened. This option has also become deactivatable again.
