The connectors2 version is marked as being compatible with Squeak3.7. I hadn't 
published the release, as I considered it temporary. Unfortunately, I haven't 
been able to update it as I had intended.

However, the code loads into the stock 3.7-5989 image fine.

It is now published for 3.7.

What prerequisite? Did you load Monticello?

The home page link is to a .sar file for some reason. I fixed that.
