[comp.periphs] Touch screens

trl@tokugowa.UUCP (the GOOD Doctor) (11/08/89)

Problem:     I am currently working on a project involving the conversion of
          of a touch based data entry system from a PDP 11/44 to a VAX 6320.
          The touch units currently in use on the PDP 11/44 will not, for 
          various reasons, suffice for use on the system under development.

          Therefore I need to find a new touch screen which will work.

Conditions :
            a)  May be either an integrated touch screen (preffered)   OR
                a terminal with touch add on unit.
            b)  Display area must be of a reasonable size.
                (Current size is 12" diag.)
            c)  Should be compatible with standard VTxxx class terminals.
            d)  Needs to have secondary serial I/O for interface to other
                devices.

Any and all suggestion, pointers and/or helpfull comments greatly appreciated!
                   
                   Many  Thanks,
                       Thomas Luce.

Someone recently told me that you could install touch screens on a normal
monitor.  Does anyone know where I can get one of these that would work
with a 386 version of unix?  Thanx in advance.
