- The ONLY Amiga<>Newton connectivty thing I've seen anywher at all
- is an Amiga program that turns the Newton into a drawing tablet
- for the Amiga.
-
- I've seen NO other Amiga<>Newton solutions anywhere at all, so
- I'm afraid that unless/until someone writes one, we're stuck
- with emulation to get the job done.
-
- I run the Amiga Mac "Shapeshifter" emulator with perfect results.
- In that, I have the Lunatech "PDA Package Downloader" program and
- have used it many times to d/l Newton pkgs to my MP100. Works
- perfectly, and is, in fact, one of the main reasons I got
- Shapeshifter going in the first place. Now I'm experiencing some
- nice fringe benefits, like running NetScape 2.0, etc.
- (I'm doing all of this on a 10 Meg Amiga 1200 with 40mhz 030/882).
-
- I know quite a few Amiga folks, including some developers, who
- also own and use Newtons but so far, none of them have released
- any other Amiga<>Newton software. I'm not giving up, but not
- holding my breath either.
-
- Apple doesn't seem to know or care that the Amiga exists, so
- I'd never expect a solution of any kind out of them.
