Newton Connection Kit: Isn't Compatible w/ Newton 2.0 OS

TOPIC

I recently upgraded my Apple MessagePad 120 with the Newton 1.x OS to a Apple MessagePad 130 with the Newton 2.0 OS installed. I can no longer get my Newton Connection Kit to work. Why?

DISCUSSION

You cannot use the Newton Connection Kit with the Newton 2.0 OS. A replacement for the Newton Connection Kit will be available from Apple Computer, Inc. at a later date. In the meantime, look at the Tech Info Library article titled "Newton OS 2.0: Newton Connection Utility Alternatives". This article proves several options for transfering data from a Newton 2.0 OS device to both a Macintosh or Windows computer.

You can also use the Newton Backup Utility to backup and restore the information on you Apple MessagePad 130 device.
