[NTLK] eMate screen specs

[Victor Rehorst]

The N2 Platform Overview document has some information:

http://www.unna.org/unna/apple/documentation/n2platform/n2-overview.pdf

Page 4 notes that the PS-7010 handles the LCD, which are STN single or 
dual-scan with 16 levels of grey, and that it is connected via a 20-pin 
connector.  No idea if there's a standard pin-out for those.  I'd bet 
dollars to donuts that the screen was made by Sharp, since they did all 
of the manufacturing for the Newton line.

Page 28 has some information about the resistive touchscreen interface.
