I just got my hands on a CalComp Creation Station Pro graphics tablet.  It's a really nice, big tablet, with a 12"-square working surface.  I've been waitng for this for a few weeks now, and was hoping that when it arrived I'd finally be able to do some decent freehand drawing work anc create my planned Unixronin's Moai comprehensive mood-icon set.

There's just one teeny little technical hitch.  I didn't think to ask what type of connector this thing had ... and, upon examination, it has what I thought at first was an InPort-type busmouse connector, but on closer examination appears to be a Mac ADB connector.  We do have a Power Mac 7600 with a Sonnet G3 card that we could connect it to, but the only drivers I've been able to find for it yet are for Windows.

So, we may have a little difficulty getting this thing working......

a friend pointer out that the Mac ADB connector is identical to the serial port on some SGI machines. The wiring is even identical, so you can connected to the SGI from a Mac if you open the ADB line as a serial line.

If it is ADB, just plug it in, it should just work.
