	We always had good luck with Summagraphics Bitpads. We have bought
3 over the last 6 years. Many graphics terminal makers use the Bitpad. They
now make a 15"x15" one (which we just bought). It can produce binary as well
as ASCII formatted data. The binary data format is five times as efficient.
Both RS-232 and parallel outputs are available. Cost is $1000-$1500.
	Summagraphics now also makes a mouse/tablet combo. I think its called
the Summamouse.
	I understand that the founder of Summagraphics has left that company
to form another company (something like Display Interface) which also produces
a mouse/tablet combo.
	I hope this helps.
