Here is an out of the box solution for you to consider...
I understand that you hate to use the legacy MacOS due to the problems
that you are having.
However, what you might consider, is getting an old Mac and using it only
for backing up your Newt. The cost would be minimal.
You can get an old PowerBook 170, for about $10-$20, that would let you
backup via serial. And since all you would have on the PowerBook, is the
OS and the NBU it should run smoothly.
If you need Ethernet speed, then you could get a more modern Mac that
supports Ethernet directly or via a PCI card.
Another more expensive option is that you could get an early iMac model.
There is an serial port adapter that you can add for about $50. I forget
the company off the top of my head, but if you are interested I can look
it up.
Hopefully one of these ideas will help.
