If Pocket Fritz at 206 mhz is equal to MG 68030, and both are slightly better than the miniture Novags, then I think that is very satisfactory. And when Tiger comes out with ARM and is played with a 400mhz proccessor, then it might really crush most of the dedicateds. What I had thought is that Tiger 14 on 33mhz Palm was stronger than the miniture (which is exactly the same as their non-miniture counterparts) Novags, because I remeber it being discussed that there was no need to buy a miniture Novag.
