As it's a major misstatement (sorry earlier guy) about the capabilities 
and connectivity of both powerbooks and G3 'books, since both have 
ethernet; in general, I as a reader (let alone a rabid Newton user :) 
am  happy to have errors of fact corrected no matter how "fringe" the 
correction looks when standing alone.

I said you can't do it stock. As in, without anything other than the 
PowerBook.

BTW I don't think you can connect a Newton to either a Lombard or a Pismo
stock
Not that this is on topic for this list, but...
You _can_ connect a Newton to a stock Lombard or Pismo.  You just 
have to have an ethernet equipped Newton!  NCU works just fine over 
AppleTalk on Ethernet, so a Newton that can talk on an Ethernet 
network will talk to your Lombard or Pismo without a problem.

But this discussion is really off-topic for the PowerBooks list and 
should be brought to the G-Books list instead.

What are the rules for discussing Newtons on this list?  I imagine 
that if you aren't discussing hooking them up to your PowerBook, then 
it's not on topic, eh?  Or are they treated as "one off" since they 
are kind of cousins of PowerBooks?

Peace,
Drew

I stand corrected, you're absolutely right.

Actually you can, you need a serial to USB adapter.
I appreciate your input clearing up the little tidbit on the keyboard 
issue there.

Thanks so much

to do
that.  Unless the Lombard has a serial Port.  I don't remember.
I use a Keyspan Twin Serial adaptor to go from USB to Apple Serial for 
that kind of thing.

Works with an old Palm IIIc and my Garmin GPS receiver.
