NewTen provides Newton connectivity for Mac OS X. It allows you to install packages on a Newton MessagePad from a Mac OS X computer over a serial connection, without having to use any Classic applications.
it really works! i got my newton connected using a serial to usb adapter [with some drivers installed] under os x 10.4.10 to the powerpc imac i use at work. then,
with newten i was able to upgrade my newton messagepad 110 from os 1.2 to 1.3, install battleship, a guitar tuner and a newton book version of the communist manifesto. this is a very reliable package installer and i experienced no issues what-so-ever.

p.s. i just tested this on my intel mac at home and it works just as well through rosetta as it did natively on the power pc.
