I think it's a PX - it's just a demo machine that was here for a few days, and I
had hoped to demonstrate a PC Board layout package with the puck instead of a mouse,
but it looks like it'll be gone again before I can dig up the patch.
I orginally got the tablet for use with a DS3100 (where it does exactly the same
thing), but then it's not supposed to work with releases prior to 3.1D and I
haven't been able to immobilize the DS3100 long enough upgrade it from 3.1C...
