my first Newton:help!!

Postby joelc » 23 Feb 2009, 21:12

Hello,
I bought a Newton MessagePad 2100 and i really like this PDA but i don't know how to connect it to my PowerBook G4 Ti 667 VGA running Mac OS 10.4.11 because i haven't got any cables or software CDs. Can i use the infrared port to connect my Newton? Heeeelp!!!!

You'll need this software http://homepage.mac.com/simonbell/connection/ or a similar program and I would imagine a USB to ADB http://www.welovemacs.com/adapters-adb-adapters.html cable. I'm new to Newton so I can't help much more than that.

You'll need the adapter dongle that originally came with the 2100 if you want to do cabled transfers. Personally I'd avoid all that malarky and download NCX. WiFi transfers are much more convenient. For any other software, try here: http://www.unna.org
