Art,

I have written an application for digitizing logs from picts thereby
eliminating the need for a graphics tablet. Scans, digital pictures or video
input provide the best means to capture the map or log (beware of lens distortions).
I have an old SummaSketch, (I haven't hooked it up for years).
The last time I used it the driver supplied with the board worked well.
