Please mail responses to me and I will >post a summary. Speaking of graphics tablets... I've had a Summagraphics BitPad for quite a few years, it has a parallel interface, and I'm sure I could figure out how to hook it up to the Amiga parallel port. However, does anyone know how I would have to go about hacking the software so that I could use it with DPaint II? Since we don't have a mouse.device that I could replace with a BitPad driver, what do I do? Hack up some hardware to convert the pad's parallel port to mouse signals and hook it to the 9 pin (gag!)? Get out the debugger and trap through DPaint (also gag!)? Pay EA $$$$$$ for some kind of developers kit? Any suggestions?
