What speed was the Palm running at?  Was it anywhere near the 54MHz that
Christope Theron says many units can run at?  Was it at least the 33 MHz that
newer units begin at?  Or was it the 16 or 20 MHz that older ones run at from
the factory?  I'd think that a slim victory for Sapphire II against a 16 MHz
Palm would turn into a slime victory for Palm Genius on a 40+ MHz Palm.
