I have one of the Hitachi Eplates - HPW 600-ETM, with the infamous sh4 processor. I find it a great handheld. But a few problems.

I have tried different ways to get VGA-out. I picked up an old Colorgraphic Voyager PC card at Ebay. But could not find the right drivers that work on the Hitachi.

I've scoured the Internet, looking for the VGA-out converter or adapter that was suppose to be available as an accessory for this unit. However, Hitachi discontinued this model years ago and the only site I could find that lists the converter has a price of $90 and it is not in stock.

Does anyone have the converter for the Hitachi Eplate and would be willing to sell it for a much more reasonable price?

Or has anyone with the Hitachi Eplate found another way to get VGA-out on their device?

Hmmm, in Japan in the backstreets of Akihabara you can find a lot of old handheld PC and other WinCE related stuff.
I will be there in just over two weeks.
Maybe I can keep an eye out.
