I could never get the JamStudio tablet (formerlly the Pablo Internet
edition(*)) to work with the Wacom drivers under windows, but they all use
the same chips inside from pencom or wintab or something I don't remember
right now.  The Wacom has more levels of pressure sensitivity and an
unteatherd pen, but the Jam one works pretty good.

(*) They had the Pablo/Jam edition, which was about $99 (few years ago).
Same company also made one that came with some kids game that sold for
$49.  Same tablet - just the kid one was cheaper and bright yellow.
