No problem... I've been been busy and have only put minimal time into it
thus far.
I've actually got a hacked kernel running on 2100 h/w right now. Nothing is
stable, and it's certainly nothing to write home about, but it is running.
I'm working right now on a bootloader, and the virtual interface (right now
the screen isn't echoing what's going on, I can only interface via a
terminal). I've had to write everything in assembly to get it running on the
newton itself, so, I imagine until the framework is complete there won't be
interest. I would however like a list of people that could write drivers,
port libs, and work on a sync interface with iSync. It's really all
predicated on getting the display working, with either X or QT, otherwise
it's a perfectly useless 4 meg, linux running, brick...
