Hi Newton lovers, I bought this cable after my keyspan became obsolete from updating my mac. I hooked it up to a adaptor cable (rectangle on the ugreen to mini serial plug that fits on the newton devices. Mac osx sees the ugreen cable fine And NCX sees the cable too. But anytime i initiate the dock connection on the Newton after a few seconds I get a message that is timed out and I need to check the cable What on earth am I doing wrong? Only thing I can come up with is that the adaptor cable is missing internal wires. So I could cut open the Ugreen cable and directly solder a mini serial plug to it, I might try if no easier solution arises and if I can find out how the wiring is configurated. Any solutions are ever so welcome. -- Met hartelijke groet, Rufus Kohn 0613159031 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- http://newtontalk.net/ http://twitter.com/newtontalk
