Probably one handspring visor (OS 3.1) - the deluxe has 8MB, and one
m100 (OS 3.5+ - register as a palm developer and you get a hardware
discount).
The Visor (and there was one ROM palm) is stuck at 3.1, but can do 16
level grayscale, but you must hack. The 3.5 stuff can do it natively.
And you will need to test a color rom (again, join the dev program)
under POSE (or you could get a IIIc or perhaps a prism instead of the
m100 but those are more expensive).
Which reminds me :). When/where will we be able to get the Prism ROM
and POSE support?
