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?
