Really expensive and I can't begin to see the need. I don't know if one can hook
up a Palm to a DGT board (http://www.dgt.nl) but if one can, then you can set up
Palm Tiger and Palm Hiarcs running at 500+ MHz, for far less money on an even
better board. I've used and worked with the DGT, and it is a real beauty. Even
if you couldn't, you could easily buy a relatively inexpensive laptop, running
every program you want, and hook that up to a DGT board. All in all, you'd have
the best program available, runnning very strong, and playing on a super wodden
auto-sensory board. All this for far less than those 7500 Euros being asked.
