Apple Graphics Tablet Driver for the Apple IIgs Notes on the files "Tablet.Driver" and "Tab.16" Both files are considered to be part of the same SHAREWARE package. "Tab.16" and "Tablet.Driver" are : copyright (c)__1987 Godfreys Software 2655 Pontiac Trail Ann Arbor MI, 48105 Please send $10.00 to Clyde B. Godfrey C/O the above address. This isn't too much to ask is it? NO. To borrow a phrase... You support me and I'll support you. I have a bunch of other shareware stuff I'd like to upload ... but I won't if I don't get some response from this. To mention a couple items I've written ... "Merger" -- a really nifty superhi file manipulator and "Floppy Copy" -- a disk duplicator that does a lot of stuff the Finder can't. ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------- "Tab.16" is a CDA to install/remove "Tablet.Driver" "Tab.16" MUST be in the /SYSTEM/DESK.ACCS folder of your boot disk. "Tablet.Driver" MUST be in the /SYSTEM/DRIVERS folder of your boot disk. Just drag these files into the correct folder and you are all set. ___Additional notes : --- "Tablet.Driver" is 'hard wired' to slot 7.... this should be no problem in most setups. If you really NEED to have a driver configured for another slot send $10.00 and you'll recieve a driver that does a 'slot search' and will work with your configuration. --- PLEASE let me know if there are any other problems. I've tested the driver with everything I can get my hands on (everything = Deluxepaint, Paintworks+, Top Draw, 8/16 Paint, Instant Music, Music Studio) and it works fine with all of them. I can see no reason that there should be any problems with any 'well behaved' software. --- There is one slight problem though and it concerns the Original release version of Paintworks+ (read PAINWORKS+). I haven't and won't upgrade ... so you are on your own if you have the newer version. Anyway heres the deal. Contrary to what they (the PAINWORKS+ people) have said the original version did in fact contain a tablet driver. It simply didn't work as you no doubt know. So ... here is what you have to do ..... ___ make a backup copy of your Painworks disk having trouble ? see section on "Floppy Copy" ___ go to basic ___ put the /Paintworks disk in a drive ___ [type] prefix/paintworks <RETURN> ___ [type] bload paintworks,A$1000,B$E000,L$7000,T$B3 <RETURN> ___ [type] call -151 <RETURN> ___ [type] \A2 03 12 22\<00/1000.8000P <RETURN> ___ at this point you should see this : 00/1447: if you don't you probably have the newer version-- STOP --!!!! don't go on. Get in touch with me and I'll help as much as I can. ___ if you see 00/1447: ___ [type] 0=x 0=m <RETURN> lower case and the space IS important. ___ [type] 1441L <RETURN> ___ the top of the listing should look like this : 00/1441: F4 00 00 00/1444: F4 06 E7 ___ if it does go on otherwise STOP see above ___ [type] 1441:60 <RETURN> ___ [type] <CONTROL C><RETURN> ___ you should see the basic prompt ... ] ___ [type] bsave paintworks,A$1000,B$E000,L$7000,T$B3 <RETURN> There you just removed their useless tablet driver and "Tab.16" and "Tablet.Driver" will work. --- That should do it Thanks for reading ! have fun with your new Apple Graphic Tablet Driver
