TOPIC

    I need to know how I can obtain a cable for my Apple MessagePad, so I can use it with my Windows computer.

DISCUSSION

    Newton software only supports serial connections, so depending on the type of serial port on your Windows PC, you these cables:


    DB-9 Serial Port on your Windows PC
    -----------------------------------
    922-0565 "Cable, PC Connect"
    922-0675 "Cable, PC Adaptor, DB9/DB25, black"


    DB-25 Serial Port on your Windows PC
    ------------------------------------
    922-0565 "Cable, PC Connect"


    The PC Connect cable is a DIN-8 to DB25 cable. The DIN-8 Connector is the port used on the Apple MessagePad. The PC Adaptor is a DB25 to DB9 cable that goes on the end of the PC Connect cable.

    You can purchase these cables from an Apple Service Center, or you can use any compatible third-party cable.
