Some more observations:

I had totally forgotten about the fact, that the Travel Champion actually ran
with only 7 MHz, while the GK2000 and the Miami are running at 10 MHz.

To find out if the Miami really has the same program I did some more tests.
In CSS 2/94 I found the results of the Travel Champion in the BT2630-test-
suite. I then tested 4 of the 6 positions, that TC was able to solve on the
Miami and GK2000:

         TC     GK2000    Miami

BT05   03:18    02:17     02:17
BT08   02:00    01:24     01:24
BT18   02:50    01:50     01:50
BT22   05:50    04:06     04:06

(All times in minutes:seconds)

So I think now it's pretty clear, that the Miami is a handheld
GK2000 :-) and that it's even a bit stronger than the old TC.

Greetings,

Heiko.
