VERSION Version 1.16 COMPANY Private developer. AUTHOR Roland Schwingel Lilienthalstrasse 9 92421 Schwandorf Germany Email: roland.schwingel@extern.uni-regensburg.de Phone: +49-(0)9431-5779 DESCRIPTION With this program you can use wireless tablets manufactured by Wacom with the Amiga. The tablet is connected to the serial port of your Amiga (Multi-IO boards are also supported.) The driver is suitable for tablets of the SD, UD and KT series. Both the pressure sensitive and the non-pressure sensitive mode are supported. The driver enables you to control the Amiga mouse pointer with your tablet. Appropriate buttons on the tablet's input devices are mapped to the normal mousebuttons. Therefore the driver can be used with (almost) any program. Also, a software interface is implemented which enables you to map unused buttons in your own applications and/or to use the pressure and coordinates in your own applications. Some sample source in C is included to demonstrate the usage of the interface. Under AmigaOS 3.0 or better the tabletdata is also directly used by Intuition and passed to every window where an application can use it. A small program with source in C is included to show how an application can get the data from intuition using the Commodore tabletinterface. Driver settings are made using an intuitive graphics user interface (GUI). Also a German catalog file is supplied which you can use with at least Workbench 2.1. German and english documentation included. NEW FEATURES New in Version 1.16 (07. November 1994) * Now also supports the new KT series. (eg. ArtPad) * UD tablets with a romversion 1.2 or greater can be driven with double resolution and double pressure range. This is also supported now. * The mainwindow now also has menus. * The cycle- and buttongadgets with keyboard access are highlited now when the corresponding key is pressed. * The layout of checkboxgadget has changed. When running AmigaOS3.0 or better they are looking much better with bigger fonts. * The requester which appears when the tablet is not switched on now has a retry-button for much easier reinitialising. * Revised tabletrecognition. It is now more flexible when some of the internal tabletsettings (DIP-switches or memory settings) are not set to factory settings. But please set your tablet to factory de- faults! * Revised SD-510C handling. There have been problems with a certain ROM-version of this tablet. There is a major new version (2.0) in preparation. It is planed to be released by the end of december or begining of january. This version will finally include an AREXX-Port and a completly new mouseemulation (likely to be faster than Amigamouse). SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS * At least Kickstart and Workbench 2.04. On 2.1 or 3.x you can use german localization. * Wacom tablet of the SD, UD or KT series.
