Re: [ANN] Newton Connection for Mac OS X

Evening Newties (at least it is evening in Oz)
Quick question from a lurker – but a 10 year+ user and true believer. 
I’ve stuck with OS 10.2.8 because I can still connect using my serial 
adaptor and transfer notes from my 2100. I write everything (I’m a 
journalist, but don’t hold it against me) on the newt because of RSI, 
then transfer it to my laptop.

My question is this: I’m about to upgrade my G4 laptop to a Macbook 2.0 
GHz Intel Core duo, running (I think) 10.4.8, and I was worried about 
losing connectivity. So I read all the entries about Simon’s NCX and 
still can’t be sure what it does. Will this allow me to connect via 
serial and transfer from Notes, which is all I need it to do? Is there 
any reason I shouldn’t go ahead and buy the Macbook? This is important, 
because I can’t type more than a few lines without getting pain, so 
connectivity is vital.

If NCX does what I need it to, my second question is where to find it. 
I can’t see anything called NCX on simon’s website URL.
If it doesn’t do what I need, is there something that does?
Sorry if these are dumb questions... any advice gratefully received.
Regards
Paul Byrnes
