My AutoCAD 2.18 Installation manual (March 1986) gives serial cabling for Numonics 2200 Series plotters to PC as:

Tablet End Computer End
3 -------------------- 3
                       4 --|
                       5 --|
7 -------------------- 7
                       6 --|
                      20 --|

To use with AutoCAD, set the tablet for binary data transmition at 9600 baud, 8 bits, one stop bit. Switch settings are:

Switch Open(Down) Closed(Up) Doesn't matter
A 2,5,7 1 3,4,6,8
B 5 3 1,2,4,6,7,8
C 1 2,3,4


Lastly, the AutoCAD notes say that the tablet can be configured to emulate other brands by changing the PROM chips.

  Numonics 2206 graphics tablet still in its box

  *Any* info on the Numonics tablet would be great. It appears to be complete
(minus manuals - grr!) and supposedly works, but I don't even know what it
plugs into and I don't have any driver software for it. (I'm not even sure how
old it is :)
