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).
