Supported tablets include the UD, UD-II, ArtPad, and ArtPad-II (ArtZ-II) models. This is an ongoing open-source project to bring full support for all serial Wacoms. See the accompanying documentation in the download for details. Source Code is available.

I hope the developer comes out with a version that will support the growing number of older USB-based tablets that Wacom has abandoned. All those older but perfectly sound Intuous and Graphire tablets are just collecting dust without working drivers on the newer versions of OS X. I would gladly pay a shareware fee to regain usefulness of my old ET-0405-U vs sending it to a landfill just because Wacom refuses to update drivers to spur users to buy new models from them.

Version 2.07b works superbly on my Intel macpro with my old UD 12 tablet and keyspan USB to serial adapter, I even wrote this review using Inkwell! The software still lacks some features ofered by the Wacom softwarer and required a little adjustment of the settings beffore I was happy, but this is still beta software and as such works extremely well. Aftcr upgrading I had a problem with the deamon hanging but restarting appears to have fixed this. Considering Wacom's lack of support for non USB tablets, this is a godsend.

the TM 2.x series is a great step ahead ! again i'm very grateful for all the efforts the developer has been and will be (see todo list) putting into this ongoing project. it's a very good result we are presented with in vs. 2.ob1, for the lazy ones it even suffices to accept the automatic tablet detection setting ! thousand thanks to Scott Lahteine !

big praise to the developer, Scott Lahteine !!! this latest intermediate release 1.0b8 (as i understand it) brings tablet control back to Tiger (10.4.6). just open and quit the application, no settings, the daemon gets triggered and the tablet is accessible even on both of my monitors. Scott, thanks a lot(t) ;-)
