The other day I ran into my doc's about CGA displays, including the
lightpen input.  The light pen was a photo transistor and a switch
that signaled the CGA board the light pen was pressing on the glass
screen.  The CGA display actually did the scanning (with a quickly
flying 'light dot' to find the pen position) and reported it back to
the computer through the CGA display card.

Now back to your daily dose of non-bone-kives-and-bear-skin-technology.
