I'd prefer that you work on an AirPort driver than a FireWire driver
too (or rather, work on one with the people who are already doing
so!) ;-)
An AirPort driver would be a better "fit" for a portable communications
device like the newton anyway! With it, VNC and your ATA driver,
that's a pretty cool handheld computer! That's something I can do NOW
with my HandEra PalmOS clone, which already supports CF, MMC and SD
cards, WiFi (AirPort) networking and VNC, but the screen IS smaller
(although much bigger than a standard Palm; it's 320x240 instead of
160x160), butI'd sure like to try out wireless VNC to my mac from my
Newton 2100 too. Or to my Windows 2K box and Alpha/OpenVMS boxes at
work;
