I've got one of these laying around too. As far as I can tell, they're
pretty much a
DEC-rebadged Summagraphics SummaSketch II tablet with the serial cable
customized to allow it to be connected to a DEC mouse port.
I guess these tablets were popular in the IBM world for CAD work, and
maybe they
worked with Macintosh systems as well? The one I've got has a
four-button puck;
I'm not sure if they were available with a stylus (probably not).
Maybe this helps.
