    Searching just now didn’t net me the type of USB connector it uses. I suspect it uses the USB B style of connector to the tablet itself. The USB style that plugs into your computer is a USB A male plug.
    Here are the various styles of USB plug ends and sockets,

    2.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:USB_types_2.jpg

    You know your USB A style plug that plugs into your computer is a flat rectangle. (Male A type) The USB B style is a square, with the top two corners cut off. (Male B type)

    I could be wrong about the USB style it uses. The above, however will show you the names. Just match it up.
    Here we have Walmart. (USA) Don’t know where you’re at. At Walmart they have a kit made by Philips, that has five styles of connectors in it. They are adapters. They plug onto a USB A male to USB A male cable. (The connectors at each end are USB A male)
    This cable is on a small reel. You just pull out on both ends at the same time, and viola’! You have a 12 inch cable. (Pull again {GENTLY!} on the two ends, and it rolls back up into a small drum. About the size of an aspirin bottle top) Plug the appropriate USB end on it that you need, and plug that into the Wacom Bamboo tablet. Plug the other end into your computer. The cost I believe, is about $10 bucks.
    If somebody kipes it now, you’ll KNOW it!
