All current devices use 16-bit memory width, but the original Pilot 1000 and 5000, and the PalmPilot Personal used 8-bit memory access. One of the benefits of going from the 512K PalmPilot Personal to the 1MB Professional was getting faster access to memory and a general application speedup. -- Ben Combee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> CodeWarrior for Palm OS technical lead Get help at http://palmoswerks.com/ -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
