I have been playing around with Claude and last week set it the task of fully reverse engineering the Apple Newton 2100 ROM with the eventual goal of re-targeting it to run on any other host operating system. The results have been nothing short of miraculous. I have it running happily on my desktop machine and so far, every piece of Newton software I have thrown at it just works.
Along the way it discovered some interesting things. There are several easter eggs in the handwriting recognition, and from my searching around only one of them is widely known.

Currently it runs on both Windows and Linux and eventually I’d like to get it running on my Remarkable Paper Pro
