Yes, the digitizer will cost about $200 additional.

>How does Hold and Modify really work? Is it a form of delta mode?
Yes. You pick a color from the pallette of 32 available, then give
it another byte that indicates that the next eight bits are a modification
of the last and will be selected from the range "surrounding" (actually

including a 20MB hard disk and a couple additional ports, it should sell
for about $1000.
