Yay! It worked!
OK, it powered up and all the packages loaded. (power up the Newt before you close it up. This way, if there's a problem, you don't have to open it back up) so after loading the Implant package from PixSolutions into the Newt and running it, we see that I am indeed running quite a bit faster (unfortunately, I don't know exactly how much faster because I didn't check the speed before doing the speed upgrade) The speed displayed is close enough to 219mHz to satisfy me! Here is a hint on closing up your Newt. The screws used on the Newt are thread-cutting screws. This means that if you don't put the screws in the exact same threads they came out of, they will "cut" new threads. The Newt is plastic. The plastic most likely will not hold once the second threads are cut and will most likely strip out. The way to solve this is to place the screw into the hole and turn the screw counter-clockwise (as if you were unscrewing the screw). You can feel the screw "hop" as it skips over the original thread. Once you feel this, screw it back in. It will go back in on the same threads it came out on.

Shortcut to the other steps:
