Alpha Four on a palmtop?

[Dave Britten]

Do any of you have experience running the Alpha Four relational database system on a palmtop? There's an article from Palmtop Paper that leads me to believe it should work:

However, when I try running V2 on my 200LX, it's unusably slow. It also refuses to start if EMM200 is enabled. I can't tell if I just have something misconfigured, or if the author of that article neglected to mention that she had a double-speed palmtop.
