Thanks very much for the advice, this helps a lot! I was *that* close to buying the Aiptek just to see whether or not it would work. That's saved me a lot of trouble already. After searching around, I decided on the Digitus "DN-3008", mainly because of this website here, which specifies not only the chipset but also whether it's the external or rom version, so I can be really sure what I'm getting: http://www.computerstore.co.nz/store/web/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=48&idproduct=94 I was tempted to buy it all the way from New Zealand, their website is so unexpectedly helpful, but then I just decided to buy it off ebay ;-) I'm slightly nervous that what I've bought is a "DN-3008M1", not a "DN-3008", but I guess that's the kind of model number variation you always get. Just because I like to include lots of links for people who might find this email through google, here are links to some of the other dongles you mentioned...
