Apple Newton MessagePad 2100
1997
The Apple Newton MessagePad 2100 (1997) is the last and most capable of Apple's Newton PDAs: a pen-driven handheld with printing and cursive handwriting recognition, built around a StrongARM SA-110 with 4 MB of DRAM and a 320×480 monochrome touchscreen, running Newton OS 2.1 from an 8 MB ROM.

Controls
Boots the Apple Newton MessagePad 2100 (Newton OS 2.1, ROM 717006) on a from-source WebAssembly build of Einstein. The whole 320x480 screen is the touchscreen — click and drag on it with the mouse to use the stylus (write, tap buttons, draw). The MessagePad is pen-driven, so there is no keypad; the on-screen Power button and the debugger Controls window toggle the hardware power switch. Open the debugger to read the live StrongARM registers (R0-R15 + CPSR) and memory, single-step one ARM instruction, set execution breakpoints and memory watchpoints, and pause/resume. Click the screen first so it captures the pointer.
