dropdeadike Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Hi everybody, I read these forums religiously but have never posted. I am currently attempting to turn my macbook pro into a graphics tablet pc using a wacom intous tablet and my current 15.4 inch macbook pro. There is one issue I am running into. I need to connect the intous tablet to the computer via usb. The items on the computer I will no longer be using are the keyboard and the touchpad. What I would like to do is use my keyboard or or touchpad connection on the motherboard for my intous pad. I am looking for advice on how to do this. Thank you for your help.

3.14r2 Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 The idea is interesting. However I don't think it is possible technically. These devices (touchpad and keyboard not to mention Intous) AFAIK are controlled by a different drivers. So if you even managed to connect them to MB, it wouldn't work. It could only work if the K&T were connected via on-board USB port - they aren't. Why you need this?

To avoid losing 1 of the 2 usb ports i have i was trying to use a port that was going to be empty Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/236230-transforming-macbook-pro-into-tablet-pc/#findComment-1576827 Share on other sites More sharing options...
3.14r2 Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 I guess you need this one. And this. Also. For those who have a netbook and would like to convert it to a touch screen device check these two links: 1 2 Supports Windows, Mac and Linux Drivers Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/236230-transforming-macbook-pro-into-tablet-pc/#findComment-1576879 Share on other sites More sharing options...
