Product Description:

Einstein Emulator is a NewtonOS 2.1 emulator (MP2x00 US, MP2100D or eMate 300). It is part of a larger project aiming at porting NewtonOS to Unix-based PDAs.

What's new in this version:

Added a Cocoa screen manager and a whole Cocoa application around it.
Added keyboard support.
Improved the way events are transmitted from the host to the Newton.
X11 screen manager can now cope with most (any?) visual (using XAllocColor). Please note that 8 bits TrueColor cannot represent either the 16 shades of gray or the 16 shades of green.
Fixed a bug in the cli application code.
Fixed a bug in the way breakpoints are parsed.
Improved the package installation by reporting progress on the installation itself (in addition to progress of the transfer).
Allowed several packages to be installed in a row.
Added a watch command to watch parameters and log the result.
Improved screen interface by making it endianness-agnostic.
Improved flash by making it endianness-agnostic.
Fixed bugs in the X11 interface, including better multi-threaded code.
X11 display now is endianness-agnostic and works with both 24 and 15 bits depth (millions and thousands of colors).
Flash now uses mmap(2) and associated calls.
RTC delta is now initialized so that the Newton is set to host time at boot.
Fixed a bug that prevented the Newton to be powered off more than once.
Memory and ROM are now swapped on little-endian machines, thus avoiding unnecessary conversions during each access.
Many additional optimizations.
