I don't have much more than 12mb of data on it and it works for a while (backs up all of internal store and the first few external packages) then seems to choke. I will try the idea of ethernet cable to see if that makes any difference. Keyspan works well with downloading programs but not so well uploading them. Also I think serial connection is just too slow. I have gotten ethernet to work with the newton but it means changing all my network settings in Mac OS 10. I guess I could use an alternate location but our airport base station seems rather picky.

Chet and Newts,
I never got my big 32MB card to back-up via serial to my 2300c, 280 or
my iBook using the keyspan. When I went WiFi (airport, 802.11b whatever
you want to call it), I finally got my first back-up of the 32MB card
on the iBook after I tossed all the previous back-up folders out of
NCU. Messing around to get Appletalk to work via the 802.11b card and
Classic in MacOsX.2 is a PIA, sometimes I think it's dependant on the
socks I am wearing (those little white Hanes socks with blue gray toes
and heels, shorter than the "crewsocks" seem to work best :-) ).
I really think tossing the old back-ups folders in NCU is what does the
trick.
good luck,
Randy
