[NTLK] What was in the Newton Connection Pro Kit?

[Grant Hutchinson]

Hello all.

Back in the day, Apple shipped two version of the Newton Connection Kit. One was called simply “Newton Connection Kit” and the other was called “Newton Connection Pro Kit”.

Does anyone have one of these “Pro” packages in their collection or run across one in their adventures?

The product is listed in the “Meet The Relatives” brochure and is mentioned in at least one edition of the Apple Facts booklet.

August 1993, Page 103

The following description is from a Newton Accessories pamphlet:

“This kit gives you everything the Newton Connection Kit provides-and more. You can translate your appointments, name cards, and notes from your Newton MessagePad directly into popular PC and Macintosh applications and vice versa. One version works with
personal computers running Microsoft Windows and the other works with Apple Macintosh computers.”

What I’d like to know is what software was included to do the translation part. Especially seeing as it was a cross platform product.
