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. Garry Lingle

Gary: 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! – Whapp!ng from the North Coast Michael

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 Lingle

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. Garry Lingle
