Laurent,
I think I understand Brian. Theoretically, if you set NTK to speak
Serial over, say, Printer Port USB, and have the Newt connect via
serial, and have that serial cable connected to Port 1 of a Keyspan
Twin, things should work okay.
From what Brian says above, you cannot do AppleTalk over the
Keyspan Serial _at all_, and NTK doesn't seem to want to look at
Classic's AppleTalk settings, be they serial or Ethernet. NTK
assumes everything is going through a serial port. It won't even
look for an ethernet connection.
So, it may be feasible to use NTK with Mac OS X 1.0 in Classic mode
with a serial adapter, assuming you're okay with only ever talking
serial.
Brian, does this sound right?
Zac
