We are looking for either a touch screen, light pen, or similar screen input device for the Macintosh. If anyone knows of one, please e-mail to me, or post to comp.ivideodisc. We are trying to simplify input for a videodisc project controlled by the Mac. Thanks for any help you can give me. Otherwise, we'll have to build our own card and write drivers (bletch). Mikki Barry

I saw a touchscreen for a Macintosh at Laseractive '87 in Boston this past fall. It was made by MicroTouch Systems of Woburn, MA (617) 935-0080. I have not personally used it, but it demo'd OK, and their other touchscreens are reasonably popular. One strange thing was that their interpretation of the mouse's double click was indeed a double touch, which I found slightly confusing. But that should be adjustable in software...

Tektronix has a capacitive touch panel that we are using in a new product I
am working on. It has 256 X 256 resolution and is available to outside
customers. I sent Mikki more details via e-mail. If anyone else is interested
in this touch panel, send me e-mail for more information.
