I just purchased a serial adapter off of an auction and connected my Newton to the keyboard for the first time.  However, even after I place the caret to type, and press some keys, nothing appears on the screen.  An auto-dock message comes up which I dismiss.  Am I doing something incorrectly?  Do I need to install (or uninstall) any packages?  I am sorry for being so new to this.  Any help would be very appreciated.

Is the serial adapter an original Apple version or third-party?

If it’s the Apple version, make sure the Newton is powered up before plugging in the adapter and keyboard.
