Graphic Pen Tablet?
Using Dell PC
on Win98 / P III @ 300 mhz ==================== Is there a piece of hardware - like a pen tablet or stylus?- that I can use instead of a mouse - when using PSP, Photoshopp or Flash that would make drawing shapes easier - with more control? I'm not certain what this thing would be called. If anybody has any suggestions - I would appreciate it. Thank you. Eddy |

Yes there is something called a pen tablet. Wacom is a producer of those. They make drawing, coloring etc. easier. http://www.wacom.com/tabletwizard/index.cfm There are other makes as well. Ben I'm not certain what this thing would be called. If anybody has any suggestions - I would appreciate it. Thank you. Eddy |

The fact is NO.
Even if you get an add-in USB card the USB drivers for Win98 will not support these devices. Win98 second edition might work. Better: get Windows Millenia. Better still: save the money from the tablet and get a new computer. You can get a box for $300 that is light years better than what you now have and has modern USB2 ports as well. |

Downside is that they don't support any version of Windows earlier than 98SE with their USB products--if you have 98SE then you're set, otherwise you'll have to upgrade to that from 98 non-SE. Probably more than you can afford, but the 21" Cintiq is exceedingly nice, downside is that it needs XP or later.
