The simplest solutions to sync your precious Newton datas
There are many ways for a Newton to estabilish communication, thanks to the pcmcia slots which can extend its capabilities to Ethernet, WiFi and Bluetooth, but a primary connection method takes place through the built-in serial port, for which any MessagePad has drivers pre-installed on internal flash memory. Being compliant to rs422, rs232 and LocalTalk protocols, this serial port permits to connect to any kind of serial environment, incuding devices like mobiles, pdas and also the iPod, but when in need to exchange datas with a desktop computer, as of today the most of them lack a serial port and offer usb instead.
The Newton Usb Dongle is the perfect accessory to sync the MessagePad with any usb host. The available drivers are compatible with the major OSes and with any existing serial communication software.
