IBM 5083 Tablet
The IBM 5083 Tablet is a thin flat-surfaced unit used to input
pointing instructions to the system. Either the Cursor or the
Stylus attaches to the Tablet.
The Cursor is a mouse-like device with four buttons. The Stylus is
a pen-like device. When the Cursor or the Stylus is moved on the
surface of the Tablet, the Tablet provides their location to the
software. When the buttons on the Cursor are pressed, or when the
Stylus is pressed, the Tablet provides an identifying code to the
software.
On models 1, 11, and 12 of the IBM 5083 Tablet, the RT PC 5083
Tablet Cable Kit is required to attach the IBM 5083 Tablet to the
IBM RT PC System Unit. The cable from the RT PC 5083 Tablet
Cable Kit attaches the IBM 5083 to the M connector on the rear of
the system unit. The RT PC 5083 Tablet Cable Kit also includes a
clamping device that encloses the connectors.
On models llA and 12A of the IBM 5083 Tablet, a single cable
attaches the tablet to the M connector on the IBM RT PC System
Unit.
See the IBM RT PC Guide to Operations for the Tablet cleaning
procedure.
