That proved to be the case - I've managed to hack together a bit of code that
can pick the packet format apart and read coordinate/button information.
It seems to be sending about 160 packets per second - anyone know how well
that compares to the speed of a typical mouse? Aren't some mice (at least)
essentially 3 bytes per packet at 1200 bps, in other words (very roughly) 50
packets per second? If so then I should be able to easily match typical mouse
performance.
Resolution of the tablet is roughly 8500 x 6000 points, which should be good
enough for most purposes.

Q. What's wrong with top posting ?
I managed to guess DIP switch settings and serial
line settings to a point
that I can get useful ASCII data out of the tablet (coordinates and button
info) - but if I could interpret the packed binary stream hopefully it'd
make the tablet seem a lot more responsive...
Usually, these packets are quite easy to decipher.
