Wacom Intuos 2 – macOS 10.12. Sierra

[thomaso]

Sorry if it's slightly off-topic but possibly one here might know:

I use an older Intuos 2 (XD–01912-U, in A4+ size) in macoS 10.12.6 (Sierra) – nowadays without using the wacom preference panel, because it's too old to open and various newer drivers don't recognize the old tablet.

I tried this simple solution https://www.reddit.com/r/wacom/comments/80v05q/intuos_2_on_macos_sierra/
to make the pref pane work – but for me it results in repeatedly restart of the system preferences.app with an according message window "To use the Wacom pref pane the Sys Pref must be closed and reopened"

I appreciate any idea or experience to avoid this issue and make the wacom pref pane get opened.
