Re: [Fairlight-CMI] IIX LCD screenshots...

2005-05-31 by Laurent Lemaire

Hello Peter,

I don't have a IIx, but I would be curious to know
more about the light-pen replacement. On my side,
I was thinking that an LCD monitor with a touch
sensitive interface would be so much fun to replace
the original monitor & light-pen. The Fostex Foundation
2000 has this kind of interface. It's so much cool to
use that I did find myself trying to edit stuff on
my 01V the same way... without succes !  ;-))

Regards.

    Laurent.
