Well, if I sould be the source prohibiting you, I have to admit that I
first want to have more 928 baords tested under different conditions.
But as a rought estimate, 120k xstones in not only realistically, it's

I would suggest you're first reading both databooks before you say

chip. Not even the pinout is different.
