I can download the various network driver pkgs from unna, directly into my OS9 machine but they are unrecognised by Newton Connection Utilities - I can’t download them into my eMate. To get round this, I was wondering if someone had a .sit package of them all, or some other suggestion as to how I could get NCU to recognise them so I can upload them to my eMate?

When packages are not recognized by NCU (or other package installer applications), it’s generally because the file have lost their creator and file type codes.

From the Newton FAQ:

Why won’t the package installer recognize a .pkg file?

I would recommend using Steve Weyer’s PackType, since you’re running Mac OS 9.
