<> Speaking of touch tablets. Does anyone know how easy/practical it would be to connect a touch pad made for an Atari to a serial or parallel port of another computer? Thanks, Harold Ravlin ihnp4!uiucdcs!uicsl!hr

>Speaking of touch tablets. Does anyone know how easy/practical >it would be to connect a touch pad made for an Atari to a serial >or parallel port of another computer? > Harold Ravlin The output of these type of touch tablets is X and Y analog voltages, (0-5v I think) which require any system that it's connected to to have some sort of A/D converter. Given this, connection may be relativlely simple. A serial or parallel port is of no use, unless an A/D converter is connected between one and the tablet, which will require some amount of hardware hacking.
