http://www.merzbarn.net/

there is also a wonderful Dutch site on the barn project - with detailed photographs and outline of the work.

in the above video clip, from a generously posted series, is Max Ernst and toward the beginning, short footage of the Merzbarn, and Schwitters during the war.

this is great news as it seems a wonderful, fun project, and creatively simple in its idea of converting the tablet into an enhanced piece of paper. It won’t work on my 770 but will be ported to 800 (if not already - need to check). 800s are pretty cheap now.
check out the videos and the feature descriptions in the home-page:

Also comes with GParted, so should be able to re-format our ext3 disk:

We have a USB drive we use to backup our work server.
We have a NAS at work - it failed to format the attached USB drive as FAT so we did it as ext3, then thought we could easily format this in another OS as FAT, as the NAS software seems a bit scant sometimes.
We are now having to download a mini linux live CD to try this way, if I cannot get the mac way above to work. Gah!
