Hey, Mastodon … I’m trying to track down an #AppleNewton developer named Stephen A. Cronin.

He worked at #AMD and operated a software company called TapTech based out of Austin, Texas in the late 90s. I’ve managed to contact his former software partner, Francis Preve … but Francis lost touch with Stephen years ago.

Together they released a sequencer program for #NewtonOS called NR404 and I’m hoping the source code still exists somewhere.

Boosts appreciated.

Thank you, Jeffrey!

Also, spot the screenshots of my #AppleNewton on page 62 and an early iteration of my blog on page 109. (At least in the first edition.)

It's really really alive !

Using VirtualBox, Windows 3.1 and a USB to serial adapter.

No joy under Wine as just crashes.
