Hi,
Your best bet is from ebay. That's where I got mine. You need the
Newton Connection Kit for Mac (or PC). Two different products.
Don't get Newton Connection Utilities -- that's for Newt OS 2.0 or
later.
Works very well (at least the Mac version does.) Lets you backup
your Newt, and also lets you edit entries and make changes with a
real, honest-to-goodness keyboard and mouse, and then dump it
back down to the Newt.

I've also found out that this *exact* cable
(down to the icon)
is used to connect a Newton to a Mac....
Which begs the question....now that I know how to wire up the cable, does
anyone know where I can find the software to make my Newton MP100 talk to
either my Mac or my PC?
