#Kawala pad driver
5 messages in this thread
I have an old Kawala pad from my C64 days. I've wanted to use it on my
Amiga for a long time; now I'm really motivated by the desire to use it
with the new Notebook software.
Does anyone know of a drive that would allow me to use the pad instead of
my mouse?
Thanks.

I don't know of a Koala driver for the Amiga, but you can get a light pen
(& driver) from Inkwell Systems in San Diego. Then you'd be able to draw &
write right on the notebook page. Hmmm… I think I want one too!

Michael,
Thanks for the response.
As always money is tight and I can't afford both the Notebook software and
a new input device. That's why I was hoping that there might be some
driver for a variable resistance device like the Kawala pad. It just seems
a shame that the pad connects so nicely to the Amiga and that there's no
way of actually using it.

Garry,
There IS a Koala driver for the Amiga–I've seen it. If I run across it on
any of the networks I'll send you a copy in Email.
Note, though, that the Koala's resolution is nowhere near 640×400, so it's
going to be kind of quirky on the Amiga.
Denny,
Thanks for the info and for keeping an eye out for the driver.
I understand the comment about the resolution.
