Apple Newton Connection Utilities (for Windows) - Manual (Page 4)

4 Plug the other (eight-pin) end of the serial cable into the Newton InterConnect port (or
Communication port).
If you are using a MessagePad 2000, you must use the Newton Serial Adapter
to connect your cable to the Newton InterConnect port. Be sure to connect
the cable to the serial adapter first and then connect the adapter to your
MessagePad 2000. Otherwise your MessagePad may not establish a
connection properly.
That’s it! You’ve connected your Newton device to your computer.
