| 2x Wacom PL-300 LCD Tablets | |
| Posted by: olePigeon on 2013-11-19 15:56:06 I just scored 2x brand new Wacom Cintiq PL-300 LCD tablets. I think they're some of the first LCD tablets Wacom made. These are great because they're serial based and the software runs on System 7. 😀 10" screen, 800x600 resolution. This is going to be an awesome screen for my IIci. 😎 | |
| Posted by: LCGuy on 2013-11-19 17:44:28 Very nice, I remember seeing these in MacAddict back in the day. (and remember the typo they made with the price - $25.99 vs $2599) Wanted one ever since! | |

| Posted by: olePigeon on 2013-11-20 10:43:03 Darn eBay. 🙁 Tablets weren't new and were missing all sorts of things. :/ | |
| Posted by: olePigeon on 2013-11-20 21:10:14 I was given a partial refund. However, after extensive testing, my OCD is driving me nuts. 1 has a single dead pixel, the other has 2 lazy pixels. Further details in the trade forum. Sigh. | |
| Posted by: insaneboy on 2013-11-26 06:51:01 I can't wait to get to play with mine ;D Already found OSX drivers, I have a USB to serial adaptor and a mini DVI to VGA adaptor. Just need to see if I still have a VGA to MAC adaptor, I may have just given my last ones to Uniserver oops! And I need a mini display port to DVI adaptor so I can keep using my regular monitor |) might get a dual link DVI, than convince my boss to sell me the now decommissioned 30" display I had on my workstation cheap :approve: might also need to pick up a mini VGA adaptor too, so the kiddo can use the tablet on his iBook. | |

| Posted by: insaneboy on 2013-12-04 07:54:12 It takes some time to get the mapping right with the shareware software, but it works! Testing it at work since it turns out I don't have a VGA cable like I thought, cable is a DVI and sneaky apple blocked off the VGA pins to prevent the use of a cheap DVI to VGA adaptor 😛 and Extra thanks for the Mac to VGA adaptor 🙂 Little guy is like new. DO find I still have a hard time with a tablet, it is much easier with a screen built in. My son is going to love it once I have it hooked up at home... and I ordered a cable that'll work with his iBook too.  | |
