The Newton Connection Utilities work with the Newton 2.0 or 2.1 operating
system. If you have a Newton device that uses an earlier version of the Newton
operating system and you don’t plan to upgrade, Apple recommends you use
the Newton Connection Kit 2.0 instead of the Newton Connection Utilities.
Note:
The Newton Works import, Newton Works export, and Auto Dock
features of the Newton Connection Utilities work only on Newton devices
with the Newton 2.1 operating system.
