Thanks! That did the trick :) Completely forgot about the extension-less 
boot...

NCU is working on the iMac now. However, I cannot manage to connect to 
the Newton.
Seems like either the cable or the Newton is dead...
Tried on another Mac (PowerBook 190) with NBU, and the Newton wasn't 
recognized either, so I guess the Keyspan adapter used on the iMac is 
fine.
Considering that the Keyspan loopback test fails with the cable plugged 
from port 1 to port 2, seems like the cable is indeed the culprit.
Or at least, I hope so...
