I am using POSE version 30a8 together with ChessGenius13. I use it on a PIII
750. When I compare with my PalmIIIc the emulator solves about 2 times faster
the same position but I can tune the Palm to the same speed with afterburner.
There is one point that does not work correct: the clock in the emulator runs
too (5 to ten times) fast when the chess-programm is calculating and I cant fix
it.
On the other side: the new emulator version 3.1 does not work with chessgenius.
You will get a error message that chessgenius is using the stack outside of the
usable area.
