Your best bet is from ebay. That's where I got mine. You need the
Newton Connection Kit for Mac (or PC). Two different products.
Don't get Newton Connection Utilities -- that's for Newt OS 2.0 or
later.
Works very well (at least the Mac version does.) Lets you backup
your Newt, and also lets you edit entries and make changes with a
real, honest-to-goodness keyboard and mouse, and then dump it
back down to the Newt.
