Forget this !

Sure, you can get the rom image and maybe convert it or execute the stuff=
 on=20
an emulator or on the real strongarm processor.
This is not the real problem !

The real problem is to emulate the hardware of the newton, otherwise your=
 rom=20
image is useless !=20

To close this discussion: Nobody will do that, because it is a hard job,=20
especially for an undocumented hardware ! See the gnuton project which di=
ed=20
(in fact never really was alive).

I would love to see newton os on a modern hardware, but there is no chanc=
e if=20
nobody takes the time to write a hardware emulation layer !=20
It is up to you to take the gnuton project an develop this stuff !

Bye, Stefan
