Is there a Java VM available for the Hitachi chips? Will the Mozilla browser
on the PLW be able to support Java applets? If not are there any efforts to
port java over to this chip? By the way Great job!!! Our company is really
interested in this device for use with a product currently under
development.

Thanks,
