The upgrade is generally fine. You should be able to toggle between 220MHz
and 160 MHz. Some things won't work at 220: IR, serial, and some modem and
ethernet cards. Sounds will also playback faster than normal. Other than
this, the Newton will of course do everything else faster.

I haven't heard of any long-term ills from running at 220MHz for a long
time... Woo, you've had an Implant-upgraded Newt for a long time, right?
