[NTLK] Newton Connection for Mac OS 10.4

Hey all,

Making great strides in my exploration of the Newton OS 1 world. Share 
more on that soon.

The Newton OS 1 is a comparatively limited device to the OS 2 Newtons, 
but still quite capable!

Currently on the G4 Mac with OS 10.4 I'm using for Newton Press and 
connecting with the Newton, I have been using NCX 1.4 which allows me 
most of the time to connect to the Newton 110, download a package, and 
CRASH.


I then load NCX up again and line everything up with the Newton 110 to 
download another package, it crashes afterwards.  Rinse and repeat.

Would be nice if I could have a connection utility that did not crash.  
Any recommendations?   Anyone have any links to NCX 1.5, 1.6, and other 
archived copies?


I tried Escale.  It tried to connect and retrieve a name off the Newton 
110 and then crashes.  Promising otherwise.

Any connection recommendation for my OS 1 Newton is welcome. Currently 
using the USB to Apple Serial USA28 adaptor in this setup.

Thanks,

Greg / Doc Clu
