You can install BasiliskII and run MacOS with the original developer tools. You probably want to read everything that is available for the driver developers kit (DDK), but in the end, there is relatively little about the Voyager chip itself, because NewtonOS was not supposed to be bound to a specific hardware. 

Beyond that, there is the ROM itself which - as part of the DDK - has much of the symbolic information still attached. You can use a disassembler to read the code.

You can also debug the live system when running Einstein. It has a built-in debugger window called "Monitor", which is available on the current SVN version of Einstein for OS X. You can set breakpoints and view memory. Very nice.

Is that for serial port redirection?
