>The upgrade is generally fine. You should be able to toggle between
220MHz and 160 MHz.
Yup, I have 4.

>Some things won't work at 220: IR, serial, and some modem and

The IR will work between two 220's.
The serial doesn't until you 'slow down'.
True, 'some' modems and eth.cards won't work.

>Sounds will also playback faster than normal. Other than this, the Newton
will of course do everything else faster.
Yup, funnier sounds. Main benefit is not waiting for most time-consuming
tasks/actions. 'Find' is 10 secs. tops. 'Newtscape' is wwwaaayyy faster.
'Backups' are 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?

>Victor Rehorst -
So far, just a 'freeze' once a year, need to reset and all is well.
I've been using one since 1/4/2001. No loss of data, but I get more work
done.
