Hi,
I'm after a bit of advice which readers of the list may be able to provide.
Does anyone have any experience of running Icon on Palmtop PCs? I'm thinking
of buying one of these beasts. The one I have in mind is the Sharp-PC3000
which is advertised as having a 10MHz 80C88A processor, 1Mb RAM and 1Mb ROM. I
guess this machine would be pretty slow, but is it big enough to run Icon in
any 'usable' sense? I'm a bit vague about PC's because even though I have one
on my desk, I use it 99% of the time as an X-terminal to connect to our
network where I use Icon on a Sun4 & Sequent.
If this thing is usable, it will be the ideal platform to run my yacht racing
results program on...
Thanks.
Roger Hare.
