Jeode (Insignia) has the disadvantage of having 1/2 word instructions,
which is bad news for RiscPCs - ok for pretty much anything else of
course.  Blackdown JDK is in the same boat.

The most recent version of Kaffe I tried on a Netwinder locked the
machine up.  On a RiscPC it simply crashed on "Illegal Instruction".
Older versions sort of work.

Please don't CC me - I read this list regularly.
