My apologies to all who consider this nouveau tech; this peripheral
isn't much more than ten years old.

I picked up a Summagraphics Summmasketch Professional drafting board a
couple of days ago. It has three connectors, two to a power supply and
one to a nice-looking mouse with four buttons and a ring of copper wire
around cross-hairs. As far as I can see, there is no way to attach it
to any computer. It appears, from various scribbles on the board, to
have been part of a dedicated CAD system. (The mouse has a telephone
connacker -- is it meant to be connected via a modem????).

Is there any way for me to use this with my OS/2, Linux, Win95 PC's? If
not, I'd appreciate a description of the hardware before I part with it
for the price of postage.

best wishes, mark s.
