from the newton faq:
"A batch of DVT devices was built. Most of the units were configured as
the original MP2000. There were a few 4mb DRAM devices built in the DVT
run (they therefore are like MP2100s). Besides, some units have a
special ROM Board with an additional 8 MB of Flash for Internal memory
(bringing the total to 12 MB). There may have been units with Flash
instead of ROM and with 16 MB of ROM instead of 8. "

would it be possible to configure a rom board with more flash? i
noticed on the 2100 board there are pads for four more rom or flash
chips. also, there are jumper pads for capacitors. could that be of
use? or could we reverse engineer a DVT's rom board to make one with 12
megs onboard? i think that would be a worthwhile development.
