Fairlight-CMI

I have two IIx's. My new proposal is to work to build
a interface that would enable a IIx user to use a
touch panel monitor instead of a lightpen. Anyone that
has worked toward this project before please contact
me with any details. I have been able to setup and use
a different monitor without light pen support, but
have not been able to build-in light pen support yet.
I will see what I can come up with and share the
outcome with this list.

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,
