The HCCS Vision Digitiser is certainly popular, but how does it compare
with the Rombo VIDI Archimedes digitiser which supports colour and is
cheaper than the Vision digitiser once colour has been added?

The Vision digitiser board is very sparsely populated, whilst the Rombo
digitiser board is dense with chips and assorted logic.

Has anybody (apart from BAU) used the two side by side? The Rombo one
cost twice as much when BAU reviewed it, so I suspect that it might
be a better buy than the Vision card.

Thanks,

Simon
