I'm probably wading into waters that are way over my head, but it seems that
every so often somebody posts a message about porting the Newton operating
system directly across to another hardware device. This just seems unlikely
because the operating system would need to have drivers specifically written
for the particular touchscreen technology as well as other hardware input
output slots and ports.
Cheers
Tony.

Hmh, I remember having read a paper at Philz' website where Apple folks
went on about how extremely portable their NOS is, etc. - and then read the
same in "Why Apple killed the Newton".
So - how portable is "portable", and has anybody in recorded history ever
put NOS on something different (and I'm NOT asking about putting it on a
peanut butter sandwich!).
