Anyone Used The Einstein Newton Os Emulator?
« on: April 15, 2006, 10:22:09 am »
This project looks promising for fans of the Newton, like myself. I no longer have a Newton, so I can't get a Newton rom to try this emulator out, but I'm interested in how it works. I'm sure it's probably not at a really usable stage yet, but it would be really cool to be able to boot both the Mac OS and the Newton on my Zaurus!

it was discussed a few months ago, with initial enthusiasm. I think for most people it meant having to reflash or something, but looked very promising as there were performance improvements promised.

For some reason a search for the terms einstein and newton didn't turn up anything, but searching just now for einstein alone did turn up this thread:

I ran it on my desktop, got the flash from my 2100.  It's okay, I guess.
What's this button do??
