Are there any companies who sell variable pressure input devices for computers?
I'm referring to locating devices like tablets, mice, or trackballs that
also respond to variable force or pressure.  Their output could be 
an analog signal or could already be converted to 4 to 8 bits data.

I know that GTCO has a tablet with a pressure sensitve pen.  Are there
any more? If you know of any such products, I'd like to know the name of the
company, a short description of the product, and a company contact if possible.

Thanks.
