Hi all. Just thought I'd take a look in here and see if anyone can give me any info or point me in the right direction for Summagraphics tablets. I've got an old Summasketch Professional (A3that I was given minus the pen/puck and the drivers and I'm desperate to see if I can get it working on my PC. If anyone knows where I can get in touch with someone regarding this, it would be much appreciated. Regards Rich Schedler

>> right direction for Summagraphics tablets. Try 1-800-SAY-SUMMa. Or try Connecticut information (area code 203) in Seymour. I think most of their operation has moved to Texas, but this may be a good place to start. They should be able to give you a BBS number to download new drivers, and replacement pucks can be had in the $100 range. – Dave

If you are in need of one. I have 3 extras. Send me an E-mail and I might be able to help. –>That's if I'm not too late. -Kouros.

Hi Kouros, What sort of price would you be asking for them, and more importantly, where are you based? I'm in London, UK which may be a problem, I think. Also, does the Summasketch Professional only work with pucks (if so, how many buttons) or does it have the ability for pens (cordless?). My main use for the tablet would be for applications like Photoshop and Painter. Regards, Rich Schedler

>> My main use for the tablet would be for applications like Photoshop >> and Painter. Considering the fact that you are missing the pointing device and the drivers, I honestly feel that you'd be better off looking into a new tablet. There are several affordable new models available from Wacom, Kurta and Summa with cordless, pressure sensitive stylii that would do wonders in those applications. – Dave

Rich, The puck is for SummaSketck 9×6 and has a phone jack at the end of it. It's got four buttons on it and I have the drivers for 1906 summa (That's the 9 x 6). I have more than ten pucks. Again if you are willing send me $20 and $15 shipping and it'll be yours. I asure you it works with a 9×6. But I'm not sure what you have there. -Kouros

Kouros, Do you have any 16 button pucks for the SummaSketch III 12 x 12 model or a stylus that you would be willing to sell? Thanks, Mark
