[I know better than to even TRY to get this mailer to reply directly
to Babcock.]

One option is the Ciarcia artice in Byte about 6-10 months ago.  He
had a digitizer (at least 256x256, probably better) for a couple of
hundred dollars.  It looked like a good design, complete with 
frame-grab.  And it would hook up to anything with an RS-232 port!

Kit of parts available, but even a wired assembled, tested unit
(if I remember correctly) was under $400.  I also have seen a few
other units that work with RS-232 interface.  [Dont use them 
myself;  I digitize with a ComputerEye digitizer that does full
color directly into the 68000 in an Atari ST.  For $149 the
ComputerEye (with DIGISPEC software) is a really impressive
beast.]
