Subject: Light pens.
I can get my hands on a BBC Micro light pen from a friend (its in a box
of his doing exactly nothing). This has prompted me to think along the
lines of touchscreen-esque control systems driven by the all-powerful
BBC Micro.
My question is, knowing roughly how the pen works, is there a way of
being "notified" (e.g. IRQ) when the CRTC has latched a pen position, or
is it simply a case of polling the CRTC like mad until a flag is set?
