Long time no see fellow M200 users. Well I've recently had a crazy thought, and I figured I'd come here to get my notion properly shot down. In any case, here's my thought.

What is the possibility of turning a tablet pc into a secondary, wacom enabled monitor? Basically what the Cintiq is. I imagine there would have to be software running on the M200 to essentially dumb it down to merely display functions, but I have no idea if anyone has tried such a thing. I generally prefer to work artwise on my main computer while using the wacom tablet I have.

And if that thought wasn't unlikely enough, here's the real wrench in my plan. I'd like to make this function as a secondary monitor to a Mac. For the most part I've given up using PC's, but I'd still like to get frequent use out of my M200. I realize it'd be easier to set up a secondary monitor to the M200 itself and run everything off that. It's still a possibility, but I thought I'd exhaust my options and entertain an unlikely notion.

why not run vnc on the mac for the server and use a vnc client on the m200 thus making it appear to be the screen of the mac only.

I have considered doing something like this on my desk at work with a mac mini so I would only use one keyboard/mouse.

Interesting, I've never heard of VNC. It sounds like it could be pretty close to what I want, though it might eliminate the dual monitor aspect. Might be worth experimenting with though. Thanks for the heads up on that.
