Thanks folks, One solution so far checked uses a home made idea I had for sorting the stylus position and the bloke reckons it works. In his case for a mere 300mm x 300mm realspace frame. But in principle there need be only the limit one can physically take the stylus, so yes, I'll keep reading, but it's looking more and more likely that I'll have to make the thing myself ...
