	[* black] It was released June 29, 1999!
	[* black] It features an astonishing 0.125 MB of SRAM and 1 MB of flash memory.
-	[* black] The backup battery on its reverse side powers a real time clock and maintains the GPS receiver's SRAM ~~which allows~~ for a much faster time ~~to lock on~~ to the satellites, called a warm start. This is usually used in conjunction with a circuit to power down most of the GPS, ~~allowing~~ a much longer battery life.

	[* icon_note] The slightly imperfect alignment of the SMD components on the board indicates that the FBI hand-soldered them to the board and tailored the component choices to their specifications.
