    Genius supports Windows 95, 98, NT, and 2000. It does not support the Mac. My review of the manufacturer's website shows that it no longer produces digital tablets. The gold standard of digital tablets is Wacom. I suggest that you consign your Genius to your Windows machine and get yourself a Wacom. It fully supports the Mac.

    The parent company (Kyecom) doesn't make tablets, but if you click on to the actual Genius web site - you will find that info is not quite accurate (well, wrong, actually) A good portion of their products have OS X drivers available. Check at the Genius support pages. For example, the G-Pen F610 has an OS X driver dated in Nov 2007. Seems fairly current - - I don't have any Genius hardware, so I can't test it.
    But, I agree, get a Wacom - it's the best on the Mac....
    Serendipity is a lucky guess !

    Lest there be any confusion, I was trying to help the OP, not looking for Genius drivers for my own use. That said, I could not find a link to the Genius website--at least, Google didn't find it. I did find a third-party site with Genius drivers, but it had nothing more recent than drivers for Windows 2000. I managed to find KYE's website, but it did not list tablet's in the company's product line. If you have a link to Genius's website for its tablet product line, then I am sure that the OP will appreciate it.

    MisterMe - You supplied the link to the kyecom site, so I 'assumed' that you would have noticed the link to the Genius site at that page that you found, but here it is.
    http://www.geniusnet.com/

    I know nothing about Genius product line, but in a few seconds found lots of information, and even info about current Mac tablet drivers with the link that you supplied.
    There's no confusion - I just came to a different conclusion with the information that you supplied.

    My son just won a Genius Tablet in an art competition - unfortunately it is the 8x6 and shows no support for the Mac. I got usb_overdrive and it recognizes that there is a tablet, as you can see in the pic, but doesn't make it work. Does anyone know how to configure USB Overdrive?

    Just a little hint that has worked for me in the past. A lot of products - especially tablets - are made by companies other than what their badge says. Searching for the FCC number (printed on the back or underside) will reveal the actual manufacturer, and there is a good chance that they will have drivers that work.

    In this way I found that my KTX branded tablet was actually made by Aiptek, and the Aiptek driver worked fine.

    Of course, I would also second the motion that a Wacom is the only tablet worth buying these days, and if you have anything else I'd consider trading it in.
    - iMac G5 1.8GHZ 17" | SuperDrive | 160GB | 512MB | Airport Extreme | Bluetooth Keyboard & Mouse | Wacom Intuos II
    - Pentax *ist DL - JVC MiniDV Camcorder - Airport Express - iPod Nano 1gb white

    I have recently bought a graphite tablet by Hanvon. Its a 6x8. Installing it on the Mac has been near impossible as it seems not to install with the regular drag and drop of the icon to the app. folder.Can anyone help? Have already written to the company and all they could tell me was INSTALL IT ON A PC!
    Help please
