FWIW, I've run earlier versions of xastir on a P-100 desktop. I was very 
glad to upgrade that hardware.

It'll work - but it does take quite a while to re-draw, depending on 
maps of course.

If you're going mobile, doing the 'track me', it may well be close to 
unusable.

Hey - give it a shot - what's worst can happen?
