The Newton O.S. Creeps Toward New Hardware
GraWil writes "As previously reported, the Apple Newton refuses to die! The Worldwide Newton Conference 2004 has wrapped up (photos) and, thanks to Paul Guyot, there is real hope for an emulator. His talk, titled 'Newton never dies, It only gets new hardware,' describes and shows the Einstein Emulator, that will eventually allow the Newton OS to be built and run on top of Unix. Will your next Linux PDA boot Newton OS next year?"

... is it relevant? What is it?
Right, there's a picture of a dude pointing at a screen with a faded image on it
I'm holding out for a version of NewtonOS that runs under version 3.0 of AmigaOS running under emulation on my Atari ST.
I'm still waiting for my Timex-Sinclair 1000 emulator that runs on my Commodore 64.
There's so much that I've been planning to do and I'm been waiting for such a long time.
However, if you have Atari ST programs that you want to run on the Windows PC, the STeem emulator works quite well. There were a lot of MIDI synthesizer programs published only for the Atari ST. For example, voice editors for the various tone modules that were state-of-the-art twelve years ago and are still being bought and sold for moderate sums on eBay.
