Does anyone know if it is possible and if it is, how to connect a koala pad for the C-64 to an A-2000? Thanks, Stephen

Sure, it's very possible.. would require some semi-custom programming, but no big deal beyond that. I've thought about doing it, then I'd use it on my 64 and realise that.. uhh.. it wasn't worth the effort for the low resolution. I'm looking for a driver that'll work with a summasketch plus tablet (that I now use with my dosbox) to use with my Amiga. I think I paid $70 bucks or something (it was brand new, too, great deal) for the tablet. But, anyway, you might want to consider the Apple's Koala pad to an Amiga, (or maybe there was an IBM version, too) it might have a higher resolution or better tracking.

Jim, The thing is that I already have the C-64 koala pad sitting around and figured if it wasn't too much trouble and it didn't cost too much (free) then I could use it for low res applications. Oh well it was worth a try. Thanks again, Stephen

Don't let me discourage you out of *trying* !

>>I'm looking for a driver that'll work with a summasketch … In Library 12, SUMMA.LHA … Summagraphic Digitizer driver. This enables you to use a digitizer tablet from Summagraphic with your Amiga. The tablet can be used together with the mouse (or without it) as direct_input medium. Therefore the driver can be used together with (nearly) all software. Shareware by Joop van de Wege -sja

uhm.. thanks steve. Vic got me that one. It has a nasty habit of telling me that my tablet isn't connected after about 2 minutes. Replaced a power supply, the first time cause of that. Thanks anyway, tho. Get AutoPilot, or get lost! Eet
