I need some help to try to understand the MSX Touchpad (aka Graphic Tablet) protocol.

Does anybody here has the "Island Graphics Picture Painter" ROM? It's one of the few software that support MSX-Touchpads. This cartridge also came bundled with the Toshiba HX-J800 Graphic Tablet.

Whoever took the screenshots for openMSX seems to own such cartridge. Please contact me in pvt.

Maybe the Pioneer Video Art can also interest you, it's available in the PX-7 machines on the Resource page of the blueMSX website.

I wouldn't be surprised if the protocol is the same as for a mouse, but with absolute coordinates instead of relative coordinates?

There's a very small description of how the mouse protocol works at http://www.faq.msxnet.org/connector.html#joystick

Don't forget Philips Designer tool. If I'm not wrong there are two versions. I used a graphic table with it in the past.

Cool! I never heard about this one. It seems very similar to the Philips Video Graphics program. Are they somehow related?

BTW, why there's no entry for the Philips Video Graphics on Generation-MSX?

Now I remember, I have a MSX2 Philips NMS8220 with the Philips Designer program in ROM but I used a tablet with the Philips Designer Plus version. If you don't find it contact me through my mail (see my profile). On the other hand if you need the manual download it from here. Sorry, it's in Spanish anyway I think you will be able to understand being Brazilian ;) . BTW there's no entry for this program on Generation-MSX either.
