Re: [NTLK] New newton owner, need some help with flash card drivers.

You can use a Microsoft virtual machine running something like Win98SE if
your PC is too fast. I have this solution much better than the various slow
down techniques. Also, there is iNewton from
http://usuarios.arnet.com.ar/mtu16/. there is a registration cost but it is
first rate modern software. Whereas the VM Win98 solution is free if a bit
aged. I hope this helps. if you need to only extract data from your Newton
there are a number of other options.

I use a Newton to PC serial cable I bought from www.jksalesinc.com
and the connection software downloaded from the archive at unna.org.
I use this on a Toshiba Libretto (an old 75 Mhz sub-notebook that's
actually a smidge smaller than the 2100!) and it works fine, but I'm
told there are speed issues running it on modern desktop PCs -
they're too fast. People have mentioned slowdown utilities like MoSlo
as a workaround.
