Connecting a Newton device to your computer

Before you can transfer information between the PC and your Newton device,

you need to connect the two machines with a serial cable. The Newton

Connection Utilities communicate with the Newton device through a serial

port on your PC.

PC serial ports come in two sizes—9-pin or 25-pin. On some computers a

serial port may be labeled COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, or SERIAL.

To connect your Newton device to your PC, you need a serial cable with an

8-pin to 9-pin connector. If your computer’s serial port has a 25-pin

connector, you also need a 9-pin to 25-pin adapter.

If you don’t have the serial cable you need, you can purchase one from an

Apple-authorized dealer.

Attaching the cable

To connect your Newton device and PC by cable, follow these steps:

1 Turn off your computer and your Newton device.

2 Choose an available serial port on your PC.

3 Connect the end of the cable with 9 holes to the appropriate port on your PC.

If you have a 25-pin serial port, attach the adapter to the cable. Then plug the

larger end of the adapter into the serial port.

9-pin serial port If your computer has a 25-pin serial port,

you can use an adapter to connect.
