Bugler, blow the last post. Plucky little Epoc. No chance against the big guns…end of a dream…brave fight against overwhelming odds…sniff…

Best described as an “old-school” RPG (think Bard's Tale), Slash Hackers incorporates traditional RPG gameplay within a fantasy setting.

It seems the first upgrade CD's from Dell have started arriving and the results don't look very promising. In File-system and various other benchmarks performance has been reduced by a factor of 10:1. If this problem is not fixed the future of the Axim does not look very good. Forum links below with more info and benchmarks.
Update: It seems Dell have pulled the upgrade CD from their site.
