Hello,
With my MP2K I've a dongle to connect the Newton to Mac/Pc; can you tell if
the following info, got on the Internet, is ok also for the dongle 8 pin
mini-din found on the dongle? It should be, due to the fact the MP2K can
prin on Apple printers.
Thanks - Lionello
8 PIN MINI-DIN FEMALE at the computer.
It's possible to connect RS-232 peripheral to the RS-422 port available on
Macintosh computers. Use RXD- as RXD, TXD- as TXD, Ground RXD+, Leave TXD+
unconnected, GPi as CD.
