Yes, that worried me a bit, but Wacom says that all their tablets are the same. I don't know about the others, and specs are hard to find, so I'll probably stick with Wacom. The only problem now is finding another $300 for the right one.

I won't be needing a burner, though. I already have one in my TiBook. And I'll probably be carrying the tablet more often than I'll be letting it sit and burn.

How is this going? IS it working out? Did you get the $300 for the wacom? UPDATE!!

I want to do this as well, but probably not until my warranty ends, or I stumble across a random iBook lying around. Is there a wacom with the proper dimension? All I could ever find were eitehr significantly larger than the 7.5 x 10 screen i"ve got.

I know wacom is working on something right now [ul]http://www.trolltouch.com/slipcover.html[/ul] but it's not available yet I guess? It looks like you could just remove the outside and slip it under (possibly BEHIND?!) teh screen and there you go?

I run my iBook converted jukebox with no keyboard and instead use virtualkeyboard which is a great little program and should work well for you!

$12, not bad

I have an old non-working Pismo or three lying around. I think I'll try to mod my Wacom Graphire into the area below the keyboard. If I move the touchpad and button to the left I bet I can fit it no problem. Time to break out the Dremel and the Methelene Chloride!!

This idea takes the tablet mac concept to the next level. Tablet PCs don't usea touchscreen, they use a real Wacom tablet behind the LCD. The challange is that the external tablets are either too small or too large to fit iniside the laptop case. Check out this link to wacom's site:

These are the INTERNAL tablets, the controller section has details on the connections, its basically a serial port. While the site does not offer units for sale our good pal ebay does. However connecting the serial controller is a little out of my league. This is the product we need to make this a reality.
