[NTLK] Transferring notes from MP2x00 and MacOS Mojave

[Barry Rosenfeld]

Elias –
	Thanks very much.  I remember years ago trying the Slowdown utilities and it only sort of worked.  But I will give it a try.  Much appreciated.  –Barry

You can do it with windows 10 you will need to use a cpu slowdown utility to make NCU behave.  Alternately you will need to use the repackaged installer for this in order to get it to install as the original is only 16bit.

Another alternative is to use a virtual machine running Windows 95 or 98.

There are lots of cpu slowdown utilities around for free that work well, the repackaged installer is available below if you want to try it.  I have had success with both FTDI and prolific serial interfaces.

Please find a download below to the Newton Connection Utilities for Windows 7/10

Question to the group from a PC user - have people been able to use an FTDI adapter to connect their Newtons to Windows 10? Using NCU?  Any special steps need to be taken?  I have a lot of old data that I would like to download off of my MP2100.  Great to see the Newton community still thriving!  --Barry
