I bought an Apple [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMate_300|eMate]] off of [[marktplaats]], now what? [[http://www.unna.org/|Site]] with tools and stuff for Newtons. [[http://www.tucows.com/Windows/PDA/Newton/Communication/Terminal/|Terminal software]] to use as a serial console. ====== Plan ====== - Get serial running (done) * [[http://pinouts.ru/SerialPorts/MacRs422_pinout.shtml|pinout]] for Mini DIN-8 connector. (done, cable is functional) - Let it talk IrDA to my laptop and optionally phone/iPaq * Need to install [[http://tools.unna.org/wikiwikinewt/index.php/IrDAConnection|some software]] first. * Then I can use IrDA to install software. * Sync using IrDA - Install wifi (through pcmcia or a regular pcmcia networkcard and an external wifi adaptor) ====== Internal or external networking? ====== When using an external adaptor perhaps that device can run SSH so i can not only telnet but also ssh :) Internal pcmcia benefits: * one device * power draw External network benefits: * Perhaps SSH (depending on device) * Perhaps WPA (depending on device) * More standard software on eMate. * Options: [[http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS8386088053.html|Digi]] or [[http://www.gumstix.com/|Gumstix]]
