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

Yeah you're just paying a premium for not needing two cables/an adapter.

Should be the same thing for half the price.

Prolly, just search USB to serial adapter, and DB9 to DIN 8 serial
