I am interested in any information on graphics tablets that will work with my Amiga 3000 and a 286 clone. Prices would be appreciated. Has anyone had any experience with the graphics tablet from Dakota? Also, I recently installed a 1024 x 768 256-color Tseng4000 graphics card in my 286. I am looking for a paint program that will display 256 colors at the 1024 x 768 resolution shareware, freeware, or commercial.

Prices would be appreciated. Has anyone had >any experience with the graphics tablet from Dakota? I tried the Dakota tablet at the AmiExpo show and liked it. The stylus wasn't as sensitive as on the AProdraw/Summasketch tablet but it still had a good feel. The Dakota tablet can transmit through about 1/2" of material (for tracing magazines or books) while the Summa is limited to about 1/4". The Dakota is also around $100 cheaper and comes with a stylus AND puck. I still think I like the feel of the Summasketch better however. I called Dakota to find out if there is any way to adjust the stylus sensitivity in the driver or if it is simply a switch closure. I am still waiting on a reply. %~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~% % ` ' Mark Thompson % % --==* RADIANT *==-- mark@westford.ccur.com % % ' Image ` ...!{decvax,uunet}!masscomp!mark % % Productions (508)392-2480 (603)424-1829 % % % ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Windows 3.0's Paint program will work at that resolution provided you have enough memory and a lotta patience on a 286 :) ...Martin -- ============================================================================== Martin J.

I have a version of the TSENG3000 driver for ZSoft's PC Paintbrush IV that I changed to work for the TSENG4000. Since it's useless without PC Paintbrush, mail me if you want a copy and I'll send it. If you're adventurous, you can figure it out with DEBUG - it's just a few tweaks here and there. DJ dj@ctron.com
