The ONLY Amiga<>Newton connectivty thing I've seen anywher at all
is an Amiga program that turns the Newton into a drawing tablet
for the Amiga.

I've seen NO other Amiga<>Newton solutions anywhere at all, so
I'm afraid that unless/until someone writes one, we're stuck
with emulation to get the job done.

I run the Amiga Mac "Shapeshifter" emulator with perfect results.
In that, I have the Lunatech "PDA Package Downloader" program and
have used it many times to d/l Newton pkgs to my MP100. Works
perfectly, and is, in fact, one of the main reasons I got
Shapeshifter going in the first place.  Now I'm experiencing some
nice fringe benefits, like running NetScape 2.0, etc. 
(I'm doing all of this on a 10 Meg Amiga 1200 with 40mhz 030/882).

I know quite a few Amiga folks, including some developers, who
also own and use Newtons but so far, none of them have released
any other Amiga<>Newton software. I'm not giving up, but not
holding my breath either. 

Apple doesn't seem to know or care that the Amiga exists, so 
I'd never expect a solution of any kind out of them.
