The problem is still how do you connect your Newton to your OS X box. Sure,
there are Keyspan serial-to-USB adapters, but that's not a widespread
solution and tends to be on the expensive side.

So, until we get the DIL (Desktop Integration Library) reversed-engineered
and have the ability to build it for OS X, I'm afraid we won't see much on
the Newton side...

Blue Screen of Death n.: [common] This term is closely related to the older
Black Screen of Death but much more common (many non-hackers have picked it
up). Due to the extreme fragility and bugginess of Microsoft Windows,
misbehaving applications can readily crash the OS (and the OS sometimes
crashes itself spontaneously). The Blue Screen of Death, sometimes decorate=
d
with hex error codes, is what you get when this happens. (Commonly
abbreviated BSOD.)=20
