hello,
i just get an old wacom digitizer 2 tablet by a friend… does that tablet works with pd under osx? there seems to be an emulation to get it work under osx, but didnt found infos on pd usabilty…
as it is big but a quite old piece of gear iam also interessted in the quality/ handling of the tablet… in comparrison to newer but smaller tablets like the bamboo…
any expieriences?
thanks, johannnes
If its USB, it worth messing with. Even the cheap Wacoms are pretty good. For OSX, you need to use Thomas Grill's Wacom object. For GNU/Linux, you can use [hid].

hello hans,
no, its a serial port. before buying an adapter i just wanted to know if it would work and how the digitizer2 would work in pd in comparrison to newer models. as far as i know the digitizer was build in 1992 and was not cheap at all… but i can be wrong.

hi johannes,
that's a bit OT, but i once had a huge and old serial wacom to play with. - i tried to use it with a serial to usb interface and that interface worked but the drivers for the tablet were only for PPC or even os 9, so there was no way getting it to work on os x. linux or windows might be a different story. a new simple tablet is around 70,- euro and spending a day trying to get it to work was definitely not worth it.

hello max,
you are right, wacom simply stop´d the development of the drivers for the old tablets. but there is a driver for osx called tabletmagic wich works with alot of stoneage wacom tablets:
http://www.thinkyhead.com/tabletmagic
anyway, i found the size of the tablet an important criteria for controlling things. did you know about very accurate tracking methods wich could be used as an alterative to an pencilpoint?
ciao, jo

My guess is that an old wacom tablet is pretty likely to be supported by GNU/Linux.
