Well, that's not a bad price... But IIRC, the Newton modem wasn't anything to get excited over. Something like 9600 or 2400, I forget. I think there were a few PCMCIA card modems that worked with the Newton line, and of course you can plug in a normal modem to the serial port on the side. Now, the parallel printer interface is interesting. Plug it into the serial port, goes to a little box with a Centronics connector on the other side, and had something inside that loads the needed drivers into the Newt. Has several different drivers depending on what type of printer it is, works with any generic printer with the normal modes(Epson emulation and some other stuff, I don't remember. been a while since I plugged it in). -------------------------------------------------------------- | http://members.tripod.com/~jrollins/index.html - Computers | | http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Lair/1681/ - Star Trek | | orham(a)qth.net list admin KD7BCY | | ham-mac(a)qth.net Portland, OR | --------------------------------------------------------------
