I have borrowed from my workplace a Summagraphics 9"x12" SummaSketch Professional Digitizer. The model number is MM 1812. The problem is it only has a 4 button mouse and no leads. Can anyone tell me how to connect it to my computer and what leads I require??? On the back of the unit it has a 9 pin male connection and a 25 pin female connection. Can anyone direct me to a web site that has an instruction manual for this item??? [sig][/sig]
 
You need a serial cable, available at any local computer or office supply store.

Summagraphics was bought by Calcomp a few years ago. You can get the drivers, etc. from them. Their website is: Select Graphics Tablets from the Shortcuts at the bottom of the page.

You have to connect it to COM1 port (9 pin male)
As per drivers you can try to select from AutoCAD
(preferences pointers - R14, or options pointers R2000)
