Einstein Platform is a way to run NewtonOS on a Mac, using a NewtonOS 2.1 ROM (MP2x00 US, MP2100D or eMate 300).

Limitations:
Will expire on Feb 27, 2007.

What's New:
Initial release of Relativity for Einstein.
Accelerated some transfers between Einstein and Host.
Einstein Platform now runs full screen on MacOS X.
Included several keyboard mappings.
Update of PortAudio (from CVS).
Included a new set of icons by Michael Vac?k. The toolbar icons reflect the state of Einstein.
The state is now shown on the screen (instead of just: screen is off).
Improved the Cocoa preferences panel.
Included AppleScript support to evaluate newton script code and to install packages.
Fixed an endianess problem with the Cocoa screen manager on Intel machines.
Fixed a bad bug in the memory emulation that caused crashes, especially with the JIT page cache.
Fixed a bug yielding to an abort when the platform was quitted.
Fixed a bug with CoreAudio sound on Intel machine.
PortAudio sound driver now reverts samples an little endian targets.
The tablet region was incorrectly limited to 1023x1023. It's now set to NewtonOS size (2047x2047).

Requirements:
G4 and Mac OS X 10.3.9 or higher, or
Intel and Mac OS X 10.4.6 or higher (Universal Binary)
A NewtonOS 2.1 ROM.
