Can I still use digi screen?

I am working on a project CF-18 (MK4) that I just got through loading XP SP3 and all the other updates. Now that I have done that, I find I have a digitizer model, not a touch screen. With XP, not Tablet, installed, can I still use the digitizer pen? If so, best place to buy one? I really hope I don't have to go through reloading again....although it might not be a bad Windows 7 test bed!

trooper, The cheapest I have found digitizer pens is direct from Wacom. The factory original Panasonic pens are identical to the cheap basic Wacom pens. Only buy the "Penabled" pens, the others won't work!

I know this is a very old thread, but does anyone have a decent source for digitizer pens? Wacom no longer seems to make the older "penabled" pens and when you do find one, they are usually $40+. I can get new Panny pens for $35 shipped. Can anyone beat that deal?

That is a good price....Good to have a spare or two.

I think these are the same as the ones I got. I PM the seller so when I find out I will post back. Here is the link http://www.ebay.com/itm/Toshiba-Tablet- ... 35d85b5c60

This is the search I used http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R4 ... C&_sacat=0

There is no hole at the top of the pen for the tether but I think you know how to fix that.

I think I put up the different pens you could use in the CF-18 thread, just need your own hole in the toshiba pen. No tether hole.

(cut and paste from CF-18 thread)

PEN PART NUMBERS

Same as Wacom M200 will fit the digitizer slot, but no hole for the tether.

Also with out the tether hole is this PA3317U-2ETC Toshiba pen.
