The Novag Saphhire 1 and the Novag Turquoise have the same program and, but I
not to sure if they share the same Rics processor. If they do there is no need
to test it against a Palm with 33 MHz since I have done several tests against
them and my Handspring have won about 55% of the games at 30 minutes per side.
The only reason that I asked was to compare against my own test and to have more
DATA for comparison reason.
