It seems that the light pen I got with the system is an original one. Its model number is 
I.C.C. LP-730. I read in the archives that this is indeed the light pen for the IIx but that its 
too large to fit in the monitor housing.

Now if only I could figure out how to connect the cables. The light pen has got 5 wires: 
red, yellow, green, white, black and 'ground'. The monitor has 4 cables coming out of it: 
White, purple, black and grey.

Any help is much appreciated.
