I have committed to the upgrade offer to convert an AST Visionplus to the Visionary GS.
That is, I have sent it off.  I talked with a rep of Virtual Realities (the company
that apparently took over the rights to the visionplus system).  The problems that existed
with my digitizer will be corrected with the upgrade, according the information that the
rep gave me.  When I get it back, I will post the results if there is interest.

BTW, the visionplus digitizer seems to little known or receive little attention in the world
of Apple compatible digitizers.  Why is this?  Is it because it operates on the GS only?
Or because of the hardware problems?  Admittingly it has problems capturing certain types
of images (at least mine does), but when it works, it works real well.  For example it captures
black and white images in a 1/15th of a second, compared to other systems whose capture times
seem to be measured in seconds.  I'll stop rambling, but I would be interested in any
comparison info among Apple digitizing systems.  (Magazines like A+/Incider seem to be long
on reasons to have a digitizer and short on technical specs).
