Memory shouldn't be a problem. Don't you think 4Mb is enough to store Crafty and
its data?
However the problem indeed is that the DragonBall EZ (the processor of the Palm,
68K compatible), has a 16 bits data bus between the processor and the memory.
This would be a killer for a program like Crafty, handling 64 bits integers.
Crafty is designed for peoples able to afford expensive computers. You need a 64
bits processor, preferably several 64 bits processors in the same computer.
