Il me semble que le 12/5/03 à 01:48 +0200, Frank Gruendel nous racontait:

Some of this is defined in NewtonGestalt.h
For example:
#define kGestalt_Manufacturer_Apple 0x01000000
#define kGestalt_Manufacturer_Sharp 0x10000100

#define kGestalt_MachineType_MessagePad 0x10001000
#define kGestalt_MachineType_Lindy 0x00726377
#define kGestalt_MachineType_Bic 0x10002000

I vaguely recall asking around and completing this list with new values.

For ROM Stage and ROM Version, I don't recall exactly. Wouldn't be
ROM Version the patch version (e.g. 710031) and ROM Stage the patch
level (e.g. 1)?

I don't have my Newton with me to figure out what it says.

I think it's the pen resolution. The inker can be configured in high
density mode (800 dpis) and low density mode (like the MP1x0s?).
