There's another potential problem with co-pilot.  Having worked
with a version of co-pilot for X Windows/Linux, I seem to remember
that the PalmPilot ROM is licensed software.  That means you
can't technically download the ROM and give it out to all your
friends.  Unless you own a PalmPilot you do not _legally_ have
the right to use the PalmPilot ROM.  Of course, if you owned a
PalmPilot chances are you'd be using that with your G-Cube anyway.

I'm not 100% sure about the licensing restrictions on the PalmPilot
ROM, but it's what I remember.  You might want to do a little
investigating to determine its current state.
