- The HCCS Vision Digitiser is certainly popular, but how does it compare
- with the Rombo VIDI Archimedes digitiser which supports colour and is
- cheaper than the Vision digitiser once colour has been added?
-
- The Vision digitiser board is very sparsely populated, whilst the Rombo
- digitiser board is dense with chips and assorted logic.
-
- Has anybody (apart from BAU) used the two side by side? The Rombo one
- cost twice as much when BAU reviewed it, so I suspect that it might
- be a better buy than the Vision card.
