Trust 400 Tablet not Working in OSX?
I would hazard a guess that this will work for other Trust tablet models, if they do, let me know! Remember to install and restart.
Users of Leopard should try These Aiptek Drivers (Leopard OSX 10.5x)
Users of Snow Leopard should try These Aiptek Drivers (Snow Leopard OSX 10.6x)
Update: Users of Lion should try These Aiptek Drivers (No idea if these work, please confirm in the comments)

I decided to post about this as this has bothered me for a long time. So this is for anyone who has found themselves in the same predicament.
Many years ago before I switched to mac for design work, I bought a Trust 400 tablet.
I used it at University on XP no problem. Years later, I dusted it off and plugged it into my mac only to find the search for drivers to be a long and frustrating one.
Many forum topics on the internet concluded in the same way, “It’s not possible”.
Au contraire! The Trust model is a rebranded version of the ‘Aiptek’ series, and I am sitting here on OSX Leopard with a working Trust tablet having installed their drivers.
Pressure sensitivity, angle, it all works. My only problem is it treats my dual monitor setup as one big canvas, effectively splitting the working area of the tablet in half. But it’s bearable. Screw forking out more money for a new tablet!
If you have found my post bearing the same problem, I have uploaded these drivers for you to with your Mac, dear reader. Good luck.

Thank you for the driver! It works great with trust tb-2100 in OSX leopard.
Glad to hear it :)
Thomas, you’re a legend. It’s turned my miserable hasty purchase into a cheap tablet wet dream! Gracias Amigo :)
No sign of a snow leopard?
You’re very welcome Neil, thanks for stopping by. What did you mean by ‘No sign of a snow leopard?’?
I have used this solution for the model Trust 16485 (Widescreen Mini Tablet) and it worked fine. Thanks for your help!
You’re welcome, thanks for stopping by!
Just found some updated drivers that work on OSX 10.6.7 exactly as you describe 1.72 doing;
Get “Pen Pad Tablet Driver V2.01-USB” from here:

Note; Chrome doesn’t play well with their ftp server; you’ll need safari, firefox or a real ftp client. Or the command line. ;)
Sweet work, I shall update my post, thanks for sharing.
This one worked for my Trust 1200 when everyone else said no!!

Brilliant!!
Can we use the same drivers for OSx Lion? Because I don’t seem to get it to work…
