Cables for Wacom tablet

[rainman748]

I bought a Wacom Digitizer II model UD-1212-R at a garage sale. It didn't come with any manuals or cables. Anybody know where I might find a cable? I have already tried the Wacom site and ebay. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

'Tis a puzzlement. I have used WACOM pads for over 5 years - and all have had a able attached. The older ones were serial and the newer ones are USB.

I'll try to find something on your model - must be really ancient. What kind of port or plug is on it for a cable attachment ? Pins? Shape, etc?

OK -it is a 1994-95 product. Here's a picture:

Got more - there are 3 of these currently on E-Bay:

UD 1212-R

According to one of the descriptions, this model uses a 9-pin serial cable.

I bought one from Provantage last year for exactly the same tablet. It looks like they don't have the PC version anymore, though, just the Mac one (which is what my tablet came with).

The manufacturer's part number for the PC one is C-STJ-A096, which might help your search. If you need the Mac one then lemme know and I'll check if I still have it (and send it for the cost of shipping since I don't need it). Keep in mind the Mac one is ADB (AFAICT) and not USB, however, so it's no good on newer machines.
