No, because it uses some Apple's provided libraries that handle the
connection negotiation that uses some encrypted protocol. So, without
knowing what the Newton asks and expects, it'd be very hard to establish a
connection. Now, sure you could write your own connection/docking program on
the Newton, but how are you going to get it there in the first place?

flat adj.: 1. [common] Lacking any complex internal structure. "That bitty
box has only a flat filesystem, not a hierarchical one." The verb form is
flatten. 2. Said of a memory architecture (like that of the VAX or 680x0)
that is one big linear address space (typically with each possible value of
a processor register corresponding to a unique core address), as opposed to
a `segmented' architecture (like that of the 80x86) in which addresses are
composed from a base-register/offset pair (segmented designs are generally
considered cretinous).
