If you did, it would _crawl_. The CPU in the Palm is
an enhanced 68000
processor running at a fairly low speed (16Mhz? 20Mhz?). I think it would
be cool, too, but intolerably slow.
Yeah, I agree. It's somewhat slow on CE devices which have faster
processors. But this is partly due to the overhead of the way I hacked
the IO.
Another issue is the memory size. Most Palms have like
4meg??? I would expect not much room left over for a disk image. Most of the
images I use are RL02 which are 10megs.
Still a port would be easy. Anyone want to buy me a copy of Codewarrior? :-)
Have you fired up any flavors of PDP UNIX on it?
No, just RT-11 and RSTS. I'm working on a Windows version (hopefully with
multiple terminals in different windows). It's mostly the same code and I've
been able to boot Unix 6th edition with it no problem.
