Yes, the digitizer will cost about $200 additional. >>"Hold and modify" mode to display all 4096 colors at once. >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 after) that one. >I notice that each expansion widget you add must be in a separate box >and plug into the side.

Tandon will be coming out with a box capable of holding 2MB memory, and including a 20MB hard disk and a couple additional ports, it should sell for about $1000.
