- I asked the same thing a while back. The only answer I got was ADPRO
- (no version was specified).

- The thing hasn't been officially released yet (at least not as of
- about a month ago when I last checked). But since it performs a
- similar function to the Graffiti board in Europe (I wish it would get
- to the US soon), porting Graffiti routines shouldn't be too difficult.

-
- Math co's are used primarily for speeding up floating point
- calculations. C2P routines are integer calculations. A better
- alternative would be to utilize DSP's as these are made to do
- accelerated integer calculations.

-
- Amiga Web Directory already has several links 'Amiga at Cebit' news
- pages with some pictures of the new prototype. I personally don't
- like the look of the thing, but if the price is right, I might upgrade
- (hey, I can always hide the base unit under the desk now that it's got
- a removable keyboard).
