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 googling gave me this. An age of 67 seems plausible. The rest might be a computer generated mashup of all kinds of Stephen A Cronins. Still worth a shot. https://clustrmaps.com/amp/person/Cronin-5gh4en
@Schepp Thanks. I stumbled on that page a while back and followed whatever I could that seemed like a reasonable lead. All dead ends so far.
