Pah.

My revamped and upgraded computer has failed me. I have a Wacom ArtPad II that works off a 9-pin serial port. My PC does not have such an archaic port and the USB adapter I bought makes no difference; I can't get the driver to work the ArtPad. It wants to find a non-existent serial port and if I try to get it to use the USB, it just can't see the device.

I think I shall have to try eBay; new USB ArtPads are too expensive for my reduced pocket at the moment. I don't recall them being so expensive!

Yes, Dad.

And Granny taught me to suck eggs, too.

Seriously, I've done all the obvious stuff.
