I tried e-mailing my reply, but the mail bounced back.  Here it is again:


You might try calling MicroTouch or Elographics.  My 1987/1988 Electronic
Industry Telephone Directory gives the following phone numbers and addresses.
Of course I have no idea if this is current.

Elographics Inc.		MicroTouch Systems Inc.
105 Randolph Road		10 State St.
Oak Ridge, TN  37830		Woburn MA  01801

(615) 482-4100			(617) 935-0080

I believe that MicroTouch uses a capacitive type touch panel on an NEC
multisync monitor.  I think that Elographics uses a membrane type touch panel.

This probably isn't what you want, but Fluke makes both color and monochrome
touch terminals.  If you can live with character graphics sent over a serial
port to a terminal, Fluke may have what you need.  Fluke uses a membrane type
touch panel.

I hope this helps.
