[comp.sys.mac] Houston Instrument 9012 digitizer

Does anyone out there in netland have a Mac Plus working with a
Houston Instrument model 9012 digitizer (HiPad Plus)?

A friend (in Taiwan) is trying to get one talking to his Mac +.
He was operating with SYS 5.0 (10/87), but invoking MACTABLET
caused his Mac to crash.

Now he is running under SYS 6.0.2, and the result is the same:
starting to run MacTablet causes the Mac to crash.

According to an article in Byte magazine, the HiPAD Plus emulates
a Summagraphics digitizer.  The HiPad Plus model 9012 has been getting
rave reviews in the trade rags, so I'd be interested in hearing from
anyone who has encountered the same problem.
