Wacom Ultrapad Digitizer II compatible Mac

Hello dear gurus!


I have an old tablet Wacom Digitizer II UD 12-12-R with a STJ-AIII cable.


I really have no idea what Mac's or PC's it is compatible with. And as far as I can judge, this model is Mac-only.


Can you please tell me which Macintosh's where used with this tablet? What are the latest ones that should work with it?


I know that old Macs with serial should handle it, but what are those macs? Power Macintosh G3 or PowerBook G3? Maybe you remember with what model you used it.


I should know the definite model of Mac so I can test my tablet.


Thank you in advance


Max

I had one of those eons ago before the imac and USB began. Had mine before the powermac g3 (thinking the 9500 or 9600), but would think any mac with a serial port would work as long as you were able to find a driver. Should still work with a windows XP computer, most everything does.

yeah, that brings back some memories.

if this is the cable adaptor you have, it'd most likely work with the powermac.

doubt that you could find a serial to USB for it, if you were looking for a newer model.

I had mine new in 1997 and didn't use it after 2001 when upgraded to a graphire USB, if that'd help narrow the computer range.

Wacom has a good history of long term support for drivers. I'd check their website to see what the latest mac model this tablet supported
