Is the touch tablet the keypad-like thing that is used with some versions of
Star Raiders on the video game machines?  I bought two copies of Star Raiders
for a game machine I do not own because they contained these keypads and were
selling for $1.99 each on a closeout.  I think it was at Child World or
Toyland or some such place in Chestnut Hill Mall here in the Boston area.
I figured that the joystick port connector alone was worth that much, and I
was getting a keypad and a ROM containing the code for Star Raiders "to boot"
(so to speak).  (Does anybody need Star Raiders for a 2600?)

If you can determine that this is the gadget you want, I would be amenable
to dropping by this store to see if they still have any more of the gadgets,
and I MIGHT be induced to part with one of the two I got in December, if
additional copies are not available.

Oh, by the way, you also get an "Atari Force" comic book for your $1.99!
