Paul, 

According to APC magazine, the Viper has only an 8-bit data processor, but
I wouldn't take that as gospel, as it also says that while the Courier's is
16-bit (correct), the Austel Sportster's is 24-bit.  The Viper didn't
perform as well as most others though, and they reckoned that the M34F was
just about the best, so I've just realised that it's a load of bullshit
after all.

Regards, Bill
