Kidboard's SketchBoard with Disney's Magic Artist

Description
Kidboard is a Minneapolis based company giving families and schools the tools they need to better harness today's computers and software.  KidBoard designs and markets drawing tablets, keyboards, light pens and software for kids.  Their latest products Pablo and SketchBoard are higher resolution drawing tablets targeted at older kids and teenagers.  The SketchBoard is bundled with Disney's award winning Magic Artist software.
Note: Unfortunately, KidBoard is no longer in business.  We receive several calls a week for assistance on finding drivers for their products.  Unfortunately the company no longer has a web site.  You may find the drivers you need on some unofficial web sites like (but we make no promises): http://home.earthlink.net/~mwbt/
Project
The project consisted of implementing a control panel for Windows 3.1 and for Windows 95 to allow users to modify certain settings for the drawing tablet.  The tablet and its driver allow the users to map the drawing pen's pressure and side buttons to Window's equivalent mouse events.  A windows control panel is implemented as a custom DLL with a well defined entry point.  The control panel communicated with the drawing tablet and its driver through a standardized drawing tablet API called WinTab from LCS/Telegraphics.
