Recent tablet/IIgs use

I have as recently as 2018-2019.  But then I only used DOS3.3.  Usable slot choices are extremely limited on IIgs without killing other built-in I/O.  Therefore which slot assignment is available to you depends on your  configuration.  I did this with both a ROM1 and ROM3 IIgs.

 

I was able to use slot 3 and 4 if I recall correctly, but using slot 3 killed memory expansion.

 

From this I learned that although the IIgs has many nice features that the IIe does not have, for my needs and custom software the IIe was a far better fit for using the graphics tablet, as was the II Rev 0, which is what I started using the Apple graphics tablet with...as well as other serial port based graphics tablets.
