Specify to NTK How You'll Connect the Newton
Serial Connection on a PowerBook with Only One Serial Port
If you are using a PowerBook that only has one serial port (such as a PowerBook Duo or a PowerBook 5300), your best bet is to use an AppleTalk rather than a serial connection (see "Choosing an AppleTalk Connection" on page 382).
If you want to use a serial connection, however, do the following:
- Select the Printer-Modem port from the NTK Toolkit Settings dialog (see FIGURE 2.6).
- Use the Chooser to make AppleTalk inactive (see FIGURE 2.7).
- If you have an internal modem, use the Express Modem control panel to set the Serial Port Setting to "Use External Modem", and not "Use Express Modem" (see FIGURE 2.8).
