Hope I'm not mistaken here: Like the 49G+ before, it doesn't run RPL natively but just a Saturn emulator.

That is true, it does emulate 6MHz Saturn system in 75Mhz ARM920T with ARMv4T architecture, which makes pretty much a same speed that original 2..4MHz Saturn (48s..49g?) (What I have been reading),. In that part I feel BStted as local importer sells them as 75MHz machines, which is only partially true (since you have "protoboard" with 75Mhz and math system in 2..4Mhz). I wish I had better skills on C so I could help Claudio with the newRPL project which is building ARM based RPL OS to 50g from scratch.

Edit: corrected the MHz number of old saturn systems.
