Demonstrated at the December 17, 1983 meeting of the Jersey Atari Computer Group
were three graphics tablets:
1. Koala Pad - 16 sq inch active area;
2. Atari Touch Tablet - 30 sq inch active area; and
3. Chalk Board - 144 sq inch active area.
They all seem to cost about the same ($70-$80) and to have similar "paint"
programs.  The Chalk Board has overlays, and can play polyphonic music
with a piano keyboard overlay and the appropriate program.

Are there other comments of these graphics tablets?

Comments mail to me will be summarized for the net.
