[comp.graphics] Digitizing tablets for the Macintosh II

JEFF@pucc.Princeton.EDU (Jeffrey Perry) (06/06/90)

    Does anyone have any experience with digitizing tablets and software
for the Mac II?  Any thoughts on the Wacom SD-420L?  I have a client who wants
to trace some maps for a SuperCard project.  Please mail me any thoughts
and I will summarize any interesting revelations to the net.

Not me, but I have managed to get data from several brands of tablets on
several brands of machines.

Wacom makes the best tablets I've ever seen. Their wireless pucks and
pens are wonderful to use. They are so sensitive that I've used one
(not on purpose) to detect footsteps in the hall outside my office.

    A few months ago, I had posted an article requesting any
    3-d molecular databases, to which I had received several
    replies, including what looked like would be some interesting
    molecules (DNA,ZDNA,"Silver Pheasant", etc.).  However, during
    a disk transfer/addition, all my old mail got lost, along with
    EVERY 3-d molecule, as well as the addresses of those who sent
    them.  So, would those who sent me molecules before be so kind
    as to send them again.  I apologize profusely for this....I really
    did intend to extract those files from my mailbox, but never got
    around to it.

Usenet is a very expensive way to do backups.  I suggest you use
magnetic tape from now on.
