does anyone have experience with graphic tablets -- particularly with
cheap serial units ?

i have tried one (a kid's model, "Wacky pad") and it seems not to talk
any protocol recognized by moused. This one seems to talk at 9600,
emits 5-byte strings with some strange absolute coordinate encoding
which i managed to translate into a reasonable x,y format with a little
bit of debugging, but i am wondering if there is some standard about
this.

[why i am looking at this ? to make use of the 'jotting' mode in mgp!]

	thanks
	luigi
