concerning the thread on newton interconnect port: i think it actually was an IBM patent that apple licenced. this was before intels USB and apple hoped IBM's standard to prevail - unfortunately it didnt...
from what i understand though, NIC does the same job as USB, apart from being much slower...

a pity newton never got USB and real IrDA form the beginning. well well
