Tired of fumbling around with that "dongle"? Wondering why Apple Computer designed the interconnect port which serves to no purpose besides requireing that a Newton user purchase an adapter to use common serial devices?

To give Newton designers credit, the Interconnect Port can do much more than serial communication however much of these capabilities never had a chance to be utlized before the Newton was discontinued by Apple Inc.
