- It occurred to me that since the Duo's have PDS's, a minidock could
- have a SRAM cache in addition to all the other things that people
- have wished for.
-
- This is probably a good thing to include. I would argue a better
- thing to have than a FPU for most people.
-
- A cache would give you about a 25% increase in performance. This
- *very roughly* corresponds to a 33 -> 40 MHz processor change.
- FlameNote: I said *very roughly*.
-
- So, include this with the millions of other things on people's
- minidock wishlists.
