Seeking: an oldass drawing tablet

Hey, so, our doughty travel drawing tablet, a Wacom Intuos 4 from 2011, finally bit the dust. It did so as quietly and gently as possible; just one day it wouldn't turn on. (And we checked multiple cords, ports, and machines. Never got it to wake. RIP, Tabby.)

We are looking for a replacement travel tablet, and we figured before turning to Ebay, we'd see if anyone here has some old-as-dirt Intuos or something they want to sell for cheap. Old is a necessity because, uh. We need a tablet that will run on Windows XP. (Yes, I realize that's absurd, but look, BSOD still runs great, it's still my travel computer, I'd rather get my hands on a cheap old used tablet than throw out a perfectly good computer AND buy a new tablet on top of it.)

An Intuos 4 would be especially handy, since we still have our install disk from that so KNOW it will run on BSOD, but any old tablet that'll run on XP is welcome.

If nobody here has one, we'll just grab some old Intuos 4 off Ebay for $20.

Did you find one? I might have one (just came across you while surfing around on the site).

I have a venerable wacom that I got for free from someone else, years ago, but I don't remember what model it is. I'll check when I get home. I haven't used it in years, so I'd be happy to pass it along.

Ok. We have to ask! What make/model is BSD! For an XP computer to be running this long, it’s probably a god in its own right. Like our 2004 laptop that is a brick but would still run if it was here and not TN.
