Itsy doesn't use the Voyager chipset. It uses a SA-1100 CPU, *not* an SA-110 like the 2x00. The 1100 has most of what V=
oyager does for the Newton inside one package, as well as a bunch of other changes. See this rundown:

Subject: Re: [NTLK] Newton R&D
Sorry to add something so late after a thread has died, but I think I
might have a good idea:
We want a new newton, but we:
-Can't reverse engineer or copy or sell Apple's ROMs or anything else
that is their's
-Don't want to pay too much
-Want to keep the large screen, OS interface and storage structure, HWR
and all our old software
Thus it is impossible to make a new Newton legally, and we can't
transfer our screen size or HWR to another platform legally. What's
left? Upgrading our old Newts. What I suggest is that we manufacture new
motherboards.
"But wait," you say: "That would take years to develop and and cost an
exorbitant amount of money!". Yes it would. UNLESS someone has already
dome most of the work for us. It's at this time I'd like to draw some
attention to a PDA platform that I haven't seen mentioned on the list
before: The Compaq Itsy.
