I could get a Newton back which NIC port wasn't working properly. Its serial
function worked as well as kbd and PrintPack but not AppleTalk. But with the
SER-001 I got AT back!

No, thanks, I got two spares too... :-))

I don't believe so because Apple dropped QuickDraw before the MP2000 came

driver does: Simply dump the pixels off the Newton screen onto the paper.
Damn, this mode has a special name too...
