It's true that I started working on such an animal a long time ago. My
goal is still to interface a Stowaway keyboard with a Newton. The closest
I've got so far is to be able to seem the Stowaway as a device on the
serial port and read some of the data using PT100. A proper driver (or
translator) will need to be created for the Newton in order for this to
work - let alone build a proper cable.
