Firecracker is documented, I got one lying around here somewhere. I think
the feasibility of Newton support was being discussed because the
firecracker protocol works by twiddling one of the lines on the serial
port on and off (yes, just one line), and no one was really sure if 1) the
Newton's RS422/Appletalk could do this and 2) if the low-level support to
do this was in the OS.
