GTCO Calcomp Roll Up III

The Roll Up III is a great alternative to a traditional digitzer. It is light weight and can be stored easily, yet has the same user interface as the common boards. It can be ordered in 3 sizes. (20x24) (30x36) (36x48).

The Roll Up III can ONLY be used with the serial cable and not the USB. A serial to USB adapter will be needed if your machine has no serial port.

Note: The driver for the serial to USB converter must be installed as well.
