This is an old revision of the document!

I bought an Apple eMate off of marktplaats, now what?

Site with tools and stuff for Newtons. Terminal software to use as a serial console.

Plan

Let it talk IrDA to my laptop and optionally phone/iPaq
- Need a serial cable to install some software first.
  - pinout for Mini DIN-8 connector. (done, cable is functional)
  - 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: Digi or Gumstix
