This may be of no help whatsoever, but I recently managed to get my old
RS232 serial port Intuos working under Linux care of the drivers and info
at these links:

Now I know that ADB and RS232 aren't the same thing. Neither is Linux and
MacOS. But something there might help to give you a starting point in
understanding the Wacom protocol, assuming it's similar at that level. I
just hope I'm not sending you on a wild goose chase.
