[NTLK] "System Q" prototype (Grant Hutchinson)

[Justin Ried]

Hi Grant,

“Q System” is the correct name, and I have no idea why my brain switched that to “System Q” while typing the email. Sigh. But yes, this EVT-1 prototype is labeled “Q System” on the body. I added a couple of additional hi-res photos to the gallery here:

This may be one of the only surviving examples of this ARM 710a-powered initial run of EVT units. It runs the Newton Diagnostics ROM, and may not even be capable of running the Newton OS 2.0 builds that were made for later prototypes (just me guessing, since the hardware changes were substantial). It’s not useful in any practical sense, but a pretty neat artifact of history.
