Definitely a customized version of a PowerBook. Hard disk, 30-pins SCSI
port, ADB port, and what appears the be a floppy driver port, the smaller
square port next to the bigger SCSI. Maybe it could boot with an old system
floppy? You would have to find a floppy though, maybe a Duo floppy drive. I
would have to check on my daughter Duo to make sure.
But, sorry maybe to burst some bubbles here, but it's far from being a
Newton...

In fact, experience has shown repeatedly that good designs arise only from evolutionary, exploratory interaction between one (or at most a small handful of) exceptionally able designer(s) and an active user population -- and that the first try at a big new idea is always wrong. Unfortunately, because these truths don't fit the planning models beloved of management, they are generally ignored.
