Genius WizardPen drivers for the Mac?

[dllavaneras]

Hey everyone

I was given a used Genius WizardPen 5x4 tablet today, and when I got home I checked the Genius website and found that the drivers are for Windows only. Is there a way I can make it work with my mac? Or am I simply out of luck?

EDIT: I got the OS to recognize it (Ink now appears in the system prefs), but whenever I try to use the pen, the pointer moves to the bottom right corner.

You may want to check around some opensource sites (like sourceforge.net), there are tons of random, specific little things on there, and you might get lucky. I found some good opensource drivers for an aiptek tablet I got a couple years ago, but that tablet was already supported in OSX by Aiptek, just not past 10.2, so it was probably easier to update for a project. Good luck (and check around on other tech forums, especially if the manufacturer has one, you may find someone out there who sorted out a workaround...).

After keeping it in storage for a (long) while, I looked around again today and managed to make it work, sort of.

I used the driver from another genius tablet, the PenSketch. You can find it here. I can now use the tablet and configure it, but now OS X doesn't recognize the device as a tablet, and thus Ink doesn't appear in the system prefs. Also, Photoshop CS4 doesn't work with it, yet Lightroom does. Go figure!
