OK, I have overclocked it to 26MHz (from 16) and >removed the wait-states. I didn't realize Palms are so slow, according to these figures a Palm IIIx, overclocked at 26 mhz, is about 670 times slower than an Athlon 1 ghz. Obviously evaluation functions are different but I believe that my mid eighties Novag Constellation runs at approx 1,000 NPS on a 2mhz 6502 processor. Of course this means that your program must be very good to give a strong game on such a slow machine.
