Hi,

As a fellow graphics tablet owner, I can assure you they are huge fun when 
messing
around with the old Apple II computers.

For a disk image of the graphics tablet software, click on the following 
link:

I also took some time a few years back to scan in the Graphics Tablet
manual and turn it into a PDF, available here:
http://www.turbo-2.com/apple/pdf/a2gt.pdf

And a small caveat:  I don't know if the disk image is 100% functional as
I use my tablet on a //e enhanced running 8/16 paint instead of the original
apple graphics tablet software.  Your best bet is to give it a try adting 
the
disk image to your apple and hooking it all up.  Hopefully it will at least
give you an indication that your tablet is functional and all is well.

Best of luck

Later,
Craig
