I’m pleased to report that NCX 3.0.3 works nearly as well as 3.0.2 under Sonoma.

Here are some observations:

- Connect — Able to connect to my MP2100 via Newton Interconnect adapter > serial to USB-A FTDI cable > USB-A to USB-C adapter at the 115kbps speed
- Keyboard passthrough works
- Able to install packages, using both the file dialog and “drag and drop” methods
- Screenshots work, but the image is scrambled (this is also the case in 3.0.2)
- Dumping ROM appears to create a file, but the connection times out
- Backup disconnected part way through first attempt, progressed further on second and third attempts, both ending with a “Sorry, an error has occurred. (-10007)” message
- After the (-10007) error, could not open the Settings… window, the “File” menu only flashes when typing ⌘, … other command keys works as expected.
- Drag and drop of notes, names, soup entries is not working. (This does work in 3.0.2)
- Still need to quit and relaunch NCX after every connection to keep using. (This also affects 3.0.2)

I’ll try to put the main problems into some issues on GitHub.

Thanks again for your work on this, Matthias!
