[comp.sys.amiga.graphics] Graphics Tablet Interface

I could use some help. I have been writing a graphics tablet driver to
use with an old tablet I have. The tablet is connected to the serial port.
My goal is to replace the mouse and use it with any program. At this point
in time I have it partially working, but the results I am getting are not
consistant. Most of my problems stem from interfacing to Intuition. Often
if I open several layers of windows I loose the mouse pointer. Sometimes, I
can hit on my original window the program is in and get control of the mouse
again. Whenever I move the pen away from the tablet, I give control of
the pointer back to the mouse. Once, when I was running DPaint III, the tablet
worked. Usually, the pointer sprite goes to the lower right and stays there.
Has anyone had any experience in this area that can help me? Are there any
references that I can use? Currently, I am relying totally on the Reference
Manuals. I have an A2000 with 1.3 installed. I am using an older version of
Lattice C-Compiler 3.2. Are there any problems here? Thanks in advance.

I have a Hitachi model HDG-1212D digitizing tablet that I want to
interface to the Amiga.  Before I spend time that I don't really
have to write a driver, I thought I would ask if there is already
a driver available.
