Unfortunately these are arranged to use separate serial connections. Together with the text terminal this results in 3 serial ports being required per design workstation. It is possible to connect a Bitpad *via* a port on the AED512. Has anybody written a driver for this configuration? Are there unsurmountable problems with this approach? I am trying to avoid reinventing the wheel. Thanks Tony Begg (e-mail me: ...!mcvax!ukc!reading!brueer!tony)
