Actually, Impulse has a paint program called 'Diamond' that has menu
options to digitize images.  I think they were going to have a hardware
piece to go with it (ala DigiView) but nothing ever came of it.

I have Diamond, and the manual tells how to set the various option to digitize
and all that, but no hardware.  Strange as it sounds - there is at least one
software package that didn't come automatically with a digitizer of its own.

(BTW - I got Diamond for about $35 I think from Impulse directly)
