Its the 133MHz sa1110 cpu version. Balloon2s can be fitted with the 
slower rated chip as they are cheaper (but probably cost more than a 
pxa270 now). There were not used in any production TCL board but I was 
mindful of all possible builds. All that the slow variant does is alter 
the default clock speed to 133MHz. The xmodem upload of a fast is still 
as horribly slow for slow cpu as fast cpu versions so there is almost 
nothing lost in having a slow small bootldr.

Thank goodness. I would have been worried if it had not.

Will do. The change is a trivial one to move an #endif around an #ifdef 
to do with NAND/YAFFS in bootldr.c so that "small" compiles cleanly but 
I've posted it anyway in the same place as the last small binaries.
