In a previous article on this group, Mr. John Schmitt 
<johns@maccs.dcss.mcmaster.ca> has asked for graphics tablets for 
the ST.

   We have got one in our department, here is some information:

- Name:   SummaSketch Plus

        Summagraphics Corporation 
        777 State Street Extension, 
        Fairfield, CT 06430, U.S.A.
        Phone (in the U.S.): 203-384-1344

- Features:

      - four-button mouse
      - two-button stylus
      - resolution is 1000 lines per inch
      - works through a mouse emulator
      - both PC and ST-versions exist
      - input cable for the ST is hooked between keyboard cable 
        and ST
      - power supply is external
        
      - Package includes an installation program (defining your 
        work area mainly) and a driver, announcing the device 
        (don't know what is does exactly). 
      - documentation is very, very poor (no manual at all).
      - 2 years warranty
        
      - Price: approx. 2000.- DM (here in Germany).

  A colleague of mine works with it, doing the programming in 
GFA-Basic. We digitize old, dusty recorded curves with it. Works 
quite satisfactory. 

  If anybody needs more info, please email directly.
