Slow? I've programmed an Atari ST with a 68000 at 8MHz,
and it only had 512kbytes of memory! According to the
O'Reilly book, on the Palm Pilot "Memory is Extremely
Limited". Well, mine's got 2Mbytes, which isn't limited at
all compared to the Atari...
Now, I wonder how well my old 6502 simulator will run on
the Palm? It was coded in 68000 assembler on an old DTACK
Grounded board in about 1986.
