Contains a great deal (relatively) on the Digital Modul-R. Worth a look. 

One interesting line about the DMR: "A professional joy and a high-carat
technology that will still have a future tomorrow."

Anyone know what a "high carat technology" is?

"high-carat" is a literal translation of the German "hochkaraetig" which
connotes something akin to "very high quality." This is not the first time
that I have seen inappropriate transliterations in Leica's publications.
They are apparently not vetted by anyone in the US or the UK.
