   Has there been any progress making a bootloader that would allow you 
to relatively easily switch between Linux and the Apple Pixo OS?

   An even more improbably possibility comes to mind: would it be 
possible to put some kind of resident debugger (memory dump, register 
dump) in memory, then start up the Apple Pixo OS, while the debugger 
program is still active?  This would allow us a way to probe how the 
Pixo OS is set up.  It's a damn shame they don't have any DDK's with 
full symbolic information on the ROM, like they did with the Newton..
