As you know, IBM CGA cards and many clones have a port to attach a light pen. However, I think I have never seen an IBM/CGA specific light pen on eBay.
While they were obviously not popular, it makes me wonder if they were really that rare?
I've also heard of people building their own. Is there a general howto with parts suggestions anwhere?
Could these be rewired for CGA?

Does any one know the pinouts for this 3278 type of light pen?
My CDP 1600 has a CGA light pen port, and found one program that can make use of light pens. It would be interesting to try this out.
