#Draw Tablet advice?

Questions, questions, questions…….
Which Drawing pad do you have. What make and model? A friend of mine has
been looking for the radio wave type for a long time. Will it work on a
4000? Where did you buy it?

I have the TriMedia Drawing Pad (as opposed to the Drawing Board
II.) It was brought to my attention via insert in DPaint 4 (4.5, 4.6,
4.61, whatever.) I don't have an A4000 so I don't have first hand
knowledge that it works but I can't think of a reason why it
wouldn't.

The hardware and software are top notch. I had a little problem
finding hearing aid batteries for the pen because they recommend using
mercury batteries instead of the most common "zinc air" batteries. I
don't know why they want you to use mercs but my guess (and this is ONLY a
guess) is that zinc air batteries may "leak" if they go dead where mercury
batteries probably won't. When you are using a hearing aid and the
batteries go dead you replace them right away but if you don't pick up
your radio wave pen for a couple months you may have a mess. (Again, this
is a guess that assumes a lot.)
BTW, using this tablet, driver, and DPaint 4.5 (and higher) allows for
pressure sensitive effects. You can get a more opaque and thinker line
with more pressure. Fun stuff.
Is the product you are talking about the Calcomp 12×12 or 6×4 tablet
that's about as thick as a mouse pad and includes pressure and right mouse
button support? TriMedia does the software and bundles it with the
Calcomp or Wacom tablets.
I'm sorry, I got my products a little mixed up. The pad I have is the
Calcomp and the software is by TriMedia.
