I discuss how to acquire an Amiga compatible serial tablet, compare two models (A Wacom Ultrapad and an Aiptek Hyperpen 6000) and how to get them up and running. I go through the various different drivers and software that supports them.

This is probably more detail on this topic than anyone wanted. A lot of this info I figured out through experimentation so some of it might be inaccurate! If you can help me out with anything please say! :D

My A1200 is running AmigaOS 3.1.4 - and all the drivers mentioned will work on 3+ but some of these drivers should also work in Workbench 2+ (Accupoint!) The more modern ones won't though.
