CalComp digitiser

	Yes, we use that digitizer with GRASS. We installed it for 4.0
	(where you had to write your own driver) and we haven't updated
	to the new parameters system yet (i.e. we use v.digit2),
	but it works just fine.
	The settings on the digitizer to go with the driver are as follows:
	MODE     Run, no prompt (01000)
	PARITY   8bit, no parity (1100)
	BAUDRATE 9600 (001)
	FORMAT   CalComp 9100#5, binary (10000)
	DATARATE 40 PPS (100)
	RES      1000 lpi (110)
	FREQ     ? (1)

	Since I'm about to leave for holidays and won't be within reach
	of email and the like before Jan 4th, I'll put our 
	src/mapdev/digitizers/DrawingBoard directory on out ftp server:
	ftp.informatik.uni-kiel.de:
	/pub/packages/grass/grass4.1/other_sources/DrawingBoard.tar.gz

	Feel free to mail any questions, but don't expect immediate
	replies :-)

	Martin
