Well, something just happened to my e-mail and it appears that the message I was attempting to write may have gotten sent before I was finished.
Anyway, I have never posted to a list like this before, and so I hop eI am doing this correctly, and that this is indeed the forum for my questions. I recently purchased a Macintosh Color Classis, a Newton 120, and an eNate 300. I have been a Mac user for years, but have virutally no experience on older items like these. The problem I am having is that I am trying to install the Newton Connection Utility that came with the Newton Connection Kit I purchased. The Utility is v1.0, and to my knowledge, is the only version for items running Newton OS 2.0. My Color Classic that I am trying to connect both items to, has a 1GB hard drive, and 10MB RAM. When I try to install the software from the floppy, it gets about halfway through the first disk, and then it closes and says that the software could not be installed because of a disk error. I've tried many things to remedy this situation. I have tried loading it with extension off; I've increased (and decreased) the amount of memory used for Virtual Memory; I completely reinstalled OS 7.6.1 on the Mac. I've shut down everything to try to make it install, but accompanying the error message, I sometimes get an additonal memory saying the system needs more memory to load the software. This is with extensions on or off. Also, I've rebuilt the desktop several times. All to no avail. I'm at the end of my rope. I've installed other software just fine, including ClarisWorks and the OS. I can't believe that this small program I am trying to install has higher requirements than does CW or the OS. I am hoping that someone will recognize this as an easy problem to fix. Adding more RAM really isn't an option. I also have a CD-ROM attached that works just fine. I don't know if this is a minor, easily fixed problem, or whether it's in fact somethign serious. I am hoping the former. I can't believe I am having this much difficulty with such a seemingly minor task. I can't find enough legacy docs to help me, so I am praying someone here can help. If it's necessary to take this "off-forum", my e-mail address is [EMAIL PROTECTED] A million good karma points to the person that is kind enough to help me solve this problem and get my eMate and Newton attched to my CC.
