Using a PC Tablet

Question: Can I use a PC only Tablet on my Mac, with a Mac program, via VMWare Fusion or some other method?

I'm thinking about getting a Medion Graphics Tablet from Aldi's, as its only $29.99. The problem is that as far as I can tell, its PC only. I have Adobe Photoshop CS4 for my Mac and I'd like to use the tablet with it.

So, is there a way to use it?

If the program is a Mac program, Fusion will not be of any help. But it seems that you may be in luck. This site shows that it may be a rebranded Wacom, which does make Mac tablets, so you may find a driver from their site that will work it. But going to the Waltop site listed for the tablet shows Mac OS X drivers. There is also USB Overdrive that may help you use the tablet.

From what I've read, it is rebranded, but its not an old Wacom. I wish it was. >.>

Oh well. *goes to look at wacom tablets*

Thanks for your help again. ^_^
