It's a separate model intended, it seems, for the medical image processing
market, among others.  I want to think that it didn't digitize in "real-time"
like its older brother did but I'm not sure.

I haven't seen anything and Prog Perip's said it wouldn't be out for a while.
Why not just called them up about it?  I did and the person who answered
told me all about it -- the details of which I forget but it being a separate
model (no upgrade wither) and ONLY black and white was what told me to "forget
it".

BTW, I was also told that there would be a brand new release of the FG-1
software RSN (I was told end of May).   I haven't checked with them yet.
