Hi Kevin,


 According to a few techs on the group, this will not work. I have been told
that a LCD with a 2X that works with the light pen is not possible. It has
to do with the resolution and scan lines I believe. Also, I understand that
it must be composite green screen in order for the light pen's two way
communications to work properly. I am sure someone can explain this in more
depth as I am not too technical !

Perhaps a more modern computer keyboard with a mouse interface would be nice
!

Cheers,
