Newton Keyboard Enabler

*Not sure if this should go in the Newton forum or not. It is a piece of Mac software that I am looking for*

Does anyone happen to have a copy of the Newton Keyboard Enabler? This is the driver that allows you to use a Newton keyboard on a Mac. The developer website no longer exists.

Thanks for any help you can provide!

Have you looked on the UNNA site? I'll look through my archives to see if I have it

That's a great site. I had not previously looked there, but now I have and unfortunately the NKE is not there. Thanks for taking the time to search your archive!

I'll send you a PM if I can find it

Found it!

I remembered downloading this years ago, but misplaced it. After spending 3 days looking through archives and old computers I have finally found it.

Thanks, for your help Kami!

If anyone is interested in this let me know and I will email it to you. It was distributed freely, so long as it wasn't done so commercially.

Hey, glad you found it. I was still in the process... I didn't realize that I had so many CD-ROMs of Newton stuff

Using the Newton Keyboard to type on my SE/30 is pretty awesome. Combine that with my Alps GlidePoint trackpad (plus my barcode scanner whose stand sits on top of the computer) and my input devices take up VERY little space on my workbench.

I sent an email to the person who developed the Newton Keyboard Enabler, asking if he still distributed it. He subsequently replied saying that it is now posted and gave me the following link:
