Just noticed this open source driver for old Wacom tablets.

No use to me, but I am aware that there are a lot of people who will enjoy this (provided it works).

It's only for serial tablets.

Hi, I'm the guy that wrote TabletMagic. While TabletMagic does work for serial Wacom tablets it doesn't support ADB yet. This is because up to now I've only owned a serial tablet. ADB support is planned for a future version. I'm posting the project to SourceForge next week, so with luck it will generate interest and continue to improve and support more brands of obsolete tablets.

Very cool! I can't wait to get my old ADB tablet up and running again!

If you do put in ADB tablet support, I will seriously send you money. I have a tablet that's perfectly adequate, but Wacom decided I don't deserve to use any more. (It's their own damned fault for making a product so well-made that they never fail!)

But realistically, this could be a good shareware opportunity.

I would just like to thank you for doing this project. My serial ArtPadII works just fine now and I can finally use it in PS and AI.
