TOPIC
The ASFU Fixer extension from GDT Softworks should be replaced with Apple's SerialDMA extension.
DISCUSSION
The ASFU Fixer was installed on early Power Macintosh computer, such as the Power Macintosh 7100 and 8100, to allow certain serial communication connections. However, if this extension is installed, it breaks serial communications between the Macintosh and several Apple MessagePad applications and tools such as the Newton Connection Kit, Newton Toolkit, Newton Press, and Newton Package Installer. It may also affect Newton Backup.
If you have ASFU Fixer installed, you should remove it and use Apple's SerialDMA extension instead.
