    Love it! If anything THIS really shows the power of the real Propeller.

    It's not a "Fake" it's, a "Homage". :D

    It's definitely a tribute to the Propeller Chip and demonstrates some of the challenges in emulating its features. For example, the Prop has 32K ROM but the FP has nothing similar. Both can have self modifying code. The FP has 8-bit cores while the RP real prop has 32-bit cores. FP has a fixed clock while RP can set internal or external clocks. There is a way to set TURBO on these stamps though it's not implemented. Spin programming language executes approximately 80,000 instruction-tokens per second on each core of the RP while FP does 2,000 on each core. Both can turn off cogs, reconfigure I/O pins, and use tri-states.
