    Hi all,

    since I'm often draw stuff with the peg I think it could be from use to have a drawing tablet... and since mos1.4 this stuff is someway (better?) supported.


    But here my questions:

    Which drawing tablets are supported?

    How well do they work together with the certain Amiga graphic programs (Photogenics, TVPaint, ImageFX, PPaint)? Is e.g. pressure supported properly etc.?


    Maybe someone who uses such tablet already can post a small review. I'm very interested in such device and therefor curious about it. :-)

    Thanks.

    regards,
    tokai

    I used one that connects to serial and joystick (power?) ports on my Amiga 1200. Haven't tried it on Pegasos though (it's got 25pin connector, and I'm a bit worried about the additional connector...)

    But I tried it at least with TVPaint, Imagine 4 and Personal Paint.

    Basically, programs just get pointer coordinates from tablet rather than from mouse (although mouse still works, and I can use it, as long as pen isn't over tablet)

    And about pressure sensitivity... Better check paint program settings, most don't support tablets at all (But still work with them great, but without pressure sensitivity)

    You can check compatibility with (some) USB devices here
