i am very close to getting an apple newton h1000 and i was wondering what i could do with it apart from playing around with it ie, i want to use it as it was intended (as much i can anyway) so do you have any advice on how i can use it in this day and age?

also id really like to connect it to my windows laptop (windows 10) so i can put programs and the like on it if thats possible (i did find a listing for a 8 pin to usb cable thats 50 BLOODY POUNDS but thats ok because il probably find anther listing on temu for something similar

$50 for a USB adapter? Isn't it just an rs232? You can find an 8 pin din to normal db9, then any usb to serial adapter.

    ebay.co.uk/itm/146714004720? when i asked the seller "why is it so expensive" he said "you dont need to buy it" as if he made these cables with his own bare hands and didnt just re-sell them from ali express
