UPDATE!

I have a solid lead … thanks for all the help!

Hey, Mastodon … I’m trying to track down an #AppleNewton developer named Stephen D. Cronin.

He worked at #AMD and operated a software company called TapTech based out of Austin, Texas in the late 90s. I’ve managed to contact his former software partner, Francis Preve … but Francis lost touch with Stephen years ago.

Together they released a sequencer program for #NewtonOS called NR404 and I’m hoping the source code still exists somewhere.

@splorp i assume you've checked out steve cronin, former VP of MMOTradeVault.com?

@vga256 Yeah, checked that one out. Too young, wrong background. The Steve I’m looking for would have gone through school a decade earlier.
@splorp ah okay, glad that one was at least eliminated. good luck!
@vga256 It’s becoming a very deep dive.
