Excellent.  I'm not sure about the statement:

"My PDC was Palm Zire 21 which is the
same processor as your Palm 31."

 Perhaps that used to be true, but the Zire 21 here:

http://www.palmone.com/us/products/handhelds/zire21/details.epl

has a  126 Mhz TI ARM

and the Zire I have is fitted with 200 Mhz Xscale Intel  ARM processor
