Anyone tried with a palm device instead of a PC?

Hi John,

This LVB-Tracker looks very nice, but it can not work stand-alone (without 
PC).
Its just an interface, and I already have an IF-100 interface that does the 
same job :o)

Still this LVB-Interface looks very nice, especially because of the 3 
different communication methodes (RS232, Ethernet,USB) and also interresting

for beginners.
