Seeking: an oldass drawing tablet

[lb_lee]

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.

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.

Thank you so much! Keep us posted!

So glad we thought to ask folks on DW, it felt like the kind of thing a lot of people would have just lying around, too old to use and no resale value.

No problem! The model number on mine is CTE-440. It's the same as the one in this post, but I only have the tablet and pen, not the mouse. Let me know if this one would work for you!

Wow, that truly is venerable! I am impressed at its longevity!

bodyetal is getting back to me regarding their own, let me get back to you in turn.

Oh hey, yeah, looks like you're the winner, that old Graphire should totally run on XP! And the drivers are online (though if you still miraculously have the install disc, I'll happily take it), and I can't see myself needing the mouse; tablet and pen should be just fine. How much you want for it?
