[DuoList] sync duo and Mac OS X

As with duo230 to Newton you can do the same with an eMac, you can use 
NCU as described in an earlier post I made using OS9 classic, but 
because the latest Apple hardware has had the serial port removed you 
will need something like a keyspan adapter that will give your emac a 
serial port through USB.

That's the hardware side.


 From software you can use NCU in classic but from what I heard you must 
install the driver for keyspan in either OS9 (classic) or OSX, I am not 
sure if your emac has dual boot, my emac doesn't boot OS9. So again, 
install on your OS of choice. Then for syncing you can use NewtSync. 
For installing packages you can use Escale. Some people report problems 
with Escale, I find it works PERFECTLY. Maybe it's the order people do 
things in. First open Escale, then open the Dock package from the 
Newton, tell the dock to make a serial connection and tap connect. You 
can also use Escale as a way of using your mac keyboard and typing 
directly to your Newton, it is very slow though.

You should consider signing up to the NewtonTalk list. Search for it on 
the web. listar at newtontalk.net is the address and type subscribe as the 
subject but I am not sure if that's it. It is call the NewtonTalk list 
though. Check out, it is VERY active with many knowledgeable 
individuals and a very warm and helpful atmosphere.
