Re: Newton Tool Kit



I've had problems in running terminal emulation to NeXT black
hardware.  (Read this as "I'm having general serial problems
connecting to next hardware") I suspect that the problem is that the
NeXT is driving the line at RS422 voltages (-5 to 5 volts) whereas the
newton expects standard RS232 (-12 to 12 volts).  

Given these problems, and my assumptions being correct, I would expect
folks to have problems running the Newton Connection kit with NeXT
black hardware.

Anyone have evidence to the contrary?
