-
- One site has used the small (~$250) Wiz tablet for about a year.
- It works great for tracing but has no provision for overlays.
- Its configuration program lets you set the density, work-space size,
- reprogram the buttons etc and save different settings into multiple
- configuration files. A recent software upgrade is supposed to fix
- problems with overscan screens.
-
- Another person reports that he had a lot of problems with a Dakota
- tablet, and was unable to get them resolved. He highly recommends
- Summa tablets (1-800-729-7866, 203-881-5400 for tech.info)
-
- A third person reports that although the Summa tablet has long been a
- favorite, the pressure sensitive Wacom tablet is fast becoming the new
- "king of the hill". Unfortunately, only OpalVision is reported to support
- this feature.
