Apple Newton Press (Macintosh) - Manual (Page 3)

Connecting a Newton PDA directly to your computer
Follow the instructions below to connect your Newton PDA directly to your
computer’s modem or printer port.
To connect your Newton PDA directly to your Macintosh computer, you need
a Macintosh serial cable (with mini-DIN-8 connectors on both ends). You can
purchase this cable from an authorized Apple dealer.
To connect your Newton PDA and your computer by cable:
1 Turn off your computer and Newton PDA.
2 Connect one end of the cable to the modem or printer port and plug the other end of the
cable into the Newton PDA’s communication port.
That’s it! You’ve linked a Newton PDA to your Macintosh computer. You can
go on to “Installing Newton Press,” later in this chapter.
Connect to an Apple
MessagePad or other
Newton PDA. If you use the printer port,
go to the Chooser and
make sure AppleTalk
is inactive.
