The 89 has even more(about 512), but it's divided between "unarchived" and "archived" memory. I haven't looked up the specs on how this works... ---Matt On Thu, 16 Sep 1999, Louis P. Santillan wrote: BTW, what kind of machine was used for the first Palm Pilot Port? Wasn't it

I thought the Z80s were near 8088s or 188s...am I on Dr Pepper again??? No, they are more like 8080s. 8088s are 16 bit machines, whereas the Z80 remains an 8 bit machine.
