That's not a *newton* driver for the stowaway keyboard... that's a keyboard
enabled for X11R6 (the windowing system used by most UNIX-like operating
systems). My guess is that it was linked on that page because something
similar could be used to interface a Stowaway keyboard to X11, because both
the Newton keyboard and the Stowaway keyboard are serial devices.

But it ultimately has nothing to do with using a Stowaway with a Newton.
