Apple Newton Backup Utility

Install the Apple Newton Backup Utility on your PC or laptop and plug in the Apple Newton

serial cable to both the Newton and the PC or laptop.

Checking memory

Start the Newton. Before installing a package on the Newton check that there is enough memory

1111

available, either internally or on the flash card. Memory information is available by pressing the

icon. It may be necessary to remove some packages if there is not enough memory

111

available. To remove a package hold the scribe on the screen until a large dot appears and

•

the Newton squeaks, then drag the scribe across the icon to highlight it. Next select the

envelope

icon at the bottom right of the screen and choose delete from the pop-up.

•

To store a package on the flash card open the icon called card.

There is a check box in this

window which allows you to choose where you want to store new packages either on the card

or in internal memory.

Installing a package

Open the Newton

connection

icon in Windows. The first time that you use the Connection utility

you may need to set the communications information. Under the Newton menu option on the

•

menu bar select the settings option. The baud rate should be 9600 and the communications port

will be either comml or comm2.

If the communications information is right, then press the

connection

icon on the Newton, then

press the

connect

icon. When a connection has been established the buttons in the Newton

•

Backup Utility on the PC will no longer be greyed out. Install a package by pressing the

install

package

button.

At times connection can be difficult to establish particularly for non-Pentium computers. If you

111

have trouble, check the baud rate which should be 9600, and also check which port you are

using. It should be the same one that the serial cable is plugged into. If you still cannot establish a

connection try restarting the Newton and also Windows.

Uploading field sites to the PC

Field sites are uploaded to a PC using the Windows Terminal programme. The Terminal

programme is usually found in the Accessories Group. To communicate with the Newton

Terminal requires a parameter file. Open the parameter file by choosing

open file

from the File

menu. If a parameter file does not exist create one by choosing

new

from the File menu. Then

from the

setting

menu choose

communications.

In the communications dialog box select the

communications

port

that you are using and then the

baud rate

which should be 9600. Next

select

save as

from the file menu and give the parameter file a name that you will remember like
