Appendix C: How the Bit Pad Two is Different from Bit Pad One
Bit Pad Two is a second generation data tablet. It is, with some minor exceptions, a plug
replacement for Bit Pad One. As an improved version of its predecessor, dissimilarities do
exist. For example, the Bit Pad Two uses more advanced hardware and different
technology.
Some noteworthy exceptions regarding Bit Pad Two:

Does not require biasing: pulling a magnet over the tablet.

Report formats, binary and ASCII BCD, include a bit or character identifying whether
the stylus/cursor is in or out of proximity.

Offers more operating characteristics to choose from, such as Relative Mode.
 Maximum baud rate is 19.2K.
 Hardware interface is RS-232C.

Does not have a Stop Mode, as such. Instead, it offers two alternatives, XOFF and
Remote Mode. Note that the command previously used by Bit Pad One to initiate
Stop Mode is now the command for Remote Request Mode.
