Hi Wojtek,

Not true - Magnus has implemented a 37.5MHz version; and the asynchronous
SRAM is not the limit, the design of the RISC5 plays a part.  Magnus
explains this well.

I don't agree that the Pepino is "closed", it has a great set of
directions in which it can expand, so I think your implied criticism is
rather unfair - but maybe you didn't intend to sound so critical.

Anyway, with Magnus' latest offer, Pepino is a really great deal for a
Project Oberon machine, thank you Magnus!

Cheers,
Paul
