The Sharp device runs an Intel 80x86 (or compatible) CPU.  The Sharp
hardware is not necessarily 'Zoomer-compatable` [sic], whatever that comes
to mean.  As the Sharp PDA runs GEOS, well written GEOS applications will
run on that device without modification (and by that I do include binary
compatibility too).
