Emu42 for Pocket PC tested successfully on the Dell Axim X30 (624 MHz)

As reported by by Bill (Smithville, NJ) in the forum at the HPMuseum Emu42 for Pocket PC has now been tested successfully on Dell Axim X30 with the new Bulverde XScale (PX270) 624 MHz CPU.  With a running time of only 18 seconds for the "Miller-Rabin test benchmark" this makes Emu42 on the X30 almost 20 times faster than the real HP-42S.

Now we're only waiting for reports on how Emu42 for Pocket PC behaves on Pocket PC devices with VGA (640 x 480)  resolution...
