Tons of Twiddler technical documentation is on the manufacturers website:
And the Twiddler actually uses a serial interface, so it would be trivial to
interface to a Newton - there would just have to be a driver to decode
everything. Actually, this might be a natural feature to add to Steve
Weyer's Sloup, since it already 1) listens to data on the serial port and 2)
lets you use the serial connection as a remote keyboard (ie. type in your
terminal emulator on the PC / Mac, have letters appear in any Newton
application)
