2 years ago Okay well I just found another diagram which goes with what Wacom says:
Here's my current debugging progress (the pin numbers are correct, but the names may not be):
And here's what it says on the silkscreen (I should probably be trusting this):

2 years ago I have managed to get it working. I grounded the TTL side pin (on the ADM202) connected to the yellow (in the diagram above). Connected RX and TX (TTL Side). I also had to ground the +5v side (the side that is pulled up to 5V) on the T1R1 and it managed to start transmission. So it is working now which is great and I have edited a config file (I will post here) which should have the correct dimensions. If anybody wants soldering images I am happy to send. The only thing I am struggling with now is the Intuos 5 emulation because the old intuos 2 (which work OK) drivers scale horribly to a 4k monitor. Here's the config file (GD-0608-R to Intuos2 6x8.tmpl.txt):

# A note about this file and its format for the braves that wants to tweak stuff
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Do not change anything here unless you think you know what you are doing. :)
#
# Note that even if it stops working (a thing that can happen quite easily),
# there are virtually no chances that you break something 'physically'.
#
# In any case, it cannot 'brick' the WaxBee, there is always a way out. At worse,
# it might crash your OS (or the USB driver) or make it install USB drivers you
# did not want. Nothing that cannot be fixed.

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Configuration items have the format :
#
# NAME = 123
#
# Numeric values can be expressed as base-10 (decimal) or base-16 (hexadecimal)
# The hexadecimal notation requires 0x to be prepended. Example: 0x5e
#
# Text requires double-quotes as delimiters.
#
# Text comments starts with a # and goes up to the end of the line. Empty lines
# are OK.
#
# Each entry has a multi-line comment shown before. These are fixed. They will
# will be overridden when the WaxBee Config utility writes-back this file when
# 'saving'.
#
# Each value can have a one-line comment attached which will be shown after the
# value on the same line. This comment is tied to the value and will be
# retained after a read/write of the file (unless the value changed).
#
# USB_PORT = 2 # DEBUG
#
# About multi-byte values (e.g. @[ ... ] ):
#
# The values are separated by commas and can be expressed as base-10 (decimal)
# or base-16 (hexadecimal). The hexadecimal notation requires 0x to be
# prepended.
#
# Each value is normally shown one byte (8 bits) at a time, but two bytes (16
# bits) are supported.# Currently, only bytes in 'Little-Endian mode' is
# supported. Use the notation: LE16() (i.e. Little Endian, 16-bits).
#
# For example:
#
# LE16(0x0c17),
#
# A one-line comment can be 'attached' to a value location, that comment
# reflects all the bytes that occurred before the previous comment and should be
# shown together (on the same line). These comments are tied to the 'values'.
# These comments will be retained when the WaxBee Config tool reads/writes a
# configuration file.
#
# Typically a configuration is always a 'copy' of an existing one which already
# contained commented values

Also made this google sheets if it helps anyone choose a tablet to do the conversion: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PB0eOjQ75BXzRziV2E4MvqTiJHs7LjlC

2 weeks ago @tom1422 sorry, I completely missed your message. I hope you were able to successfully use the GD-0608-R. I see you put a lot of effort! I'm thanking you for this!
After many years of good service, the bongofish web site was eventually shutdown. It contained a lot of information (and support) around this project and DIY screen-tablets.
Although converting a Serial tablet to a more recent USB tablet helps a lot to revive it, as OSes and drivers continue to evolve, the older USB devices are slowly getting out of support and it makes it harder to run successfully. Especially given nobody is actively working on this.
Hello, Since the website was shut down there are no longer any references or instructions. I think I have an idea from reading on the web archive (which is missing 2 of the pages and has no images) but just to be sure, would it be possible to send some pictures or reference material? It's mainly the RS232 port which I am confused about as the tablet PCB shows Data-Terminal-Ready and Data-Set-Ready as being flipped to when I probed the DB9 port. As I currently understand one of these needs to be grounded so this may make it risky. I could probably reverse engineer it further but it would probably be easier to get some reference material (if you have any). Many thanks, Tom.
