It's their so-called "Dragonball" CPU. I think it's designation is something like MC68342 or the like. I asked this very question on gnat-chat a couple of months ago. After some discussion, the following points emerged: - Yes, such a port was feasible. All it would take is time, patience, and a modicum of experience making GNAT or at least GCC cross-compilers. Since GCC already targets a very similar variant of the CPU (the 68320, perhaps?) little if any changes to the code generator would be required. - Ada tasking wouldn't be supported, but that was deemed not to be a problem, since PalmOS provides all the application switching and background execution support one would need. - In order for the port to be useful, one would need to develop a binding for the PalmOS API. Not a trivial task, but not rocket science, either. I keep hoping some enterprising soul will come along and just do it, so I don't have to. <grin> But if no one has by the time I get around to it (don't hold your breath) then I'll tackle it myself. -- Chip
