I've had a series 1 for about 2 years and use it constantly. There is some
kind of conflict with the driver and DPAINT which I believe is DPAINT's
fault since I've seen the same kinds of things happen with the
Summagraphics drivers. Yes, I use the thing with Zoetrope, Photonpaint,
Sculpt-Animate and nearly everything else. But the thing to watch out for
are: in DPAINT, changing screen formats , going into "magnify" via the
keyboard, and a few other obscure situations. I try to save often. Also,
the thing hangs up sometimes (possibly there are calls to the old debugger,
which sent messages out the serial port), which can be fixed by pushing the
little reset button on the back of the tablet. SOme software likes to look
for the hardware buttons – i.e. cannot use the simulated button press
signals – E.G. Digipaint's scissors and a few other things. PPaint works
really well, but it's ppaint. I haven't tried it with Diamond yet. Good
luck! J H H Lowengard
