For one, I decided to separate the CPU type and processor speed into their own columns. While doing this, I decided to double check all of the speeds for both the ARM and StrongARM processors used in the various Newton devices.

A related update to this tidbit ... I found a published variation of the clock speed for the eMate as well.

So, I added this to the Newton FAQ as another footnote:

“Nearly all official Apple documentation and published specifications for the eMate 300 state the speed of the ARM 710a processor as 25 MHz. However, Apple Service Source erroneously states the speed as 27 MHz. For the record, Frank Gründel’s NewtTest reports the processor speed of a eMate 300 as 24.9 MHz.”
