[comp.sys.acorn] Cumana Touch Pad

hoskinsa@prlhp1.prl.philips.co.uk (hoskinsa) (05/23/91)

Does anybody out there have any programming information on the Cumana
touch pad? I bought mine cheaply at a computer show some years ago and
did not get any documentation with it (just a program tape). The computer
communicates with the touch pad via the RS423 port by sending out ESCape
codes. I once saw a list of the codes needed but for some reason did not
take a copy. If anybody has this list can they email me a copy to
hoskinsa@prl.philips.co.uk?

Thanks, Asher

I have a Cumana touch pad (for a BBC micro) that I bought at a computer
show some years ago without documentation. From looking at the program
that came with it I can see that the computer communicates with it by
sending escape codes out of the RS423 port.

Does anybody have a complete list of these codes?

Please reply via email.
