Which is what I always thought as well, was just wondering why the Newton
doesn't have a problem with the 220 MHz from PixSolution, but that might be
the max of course :-(
BTW, I doubt that we have anybody with knowledge about these kind of
hardware limitations on this list, as I wonder if there's still anybody
anywhere that would know for sure.
