Well I couldn't help it. I was thinking about downloading Damn Small
Linux, and I got an urge -- Win 3.1 with Pen drivers onto a great little
Fujitsu Pen Tablet with a Hitachi Microdrive spinning arounf inside.
Dos PCMCIA (two slots) and mouse and pen drivers, parallel port CDRW.
LapLink5 parallel and serial port cable. Heck, I'm all set.
Dos and win programs run with the pen. Modem card. Maybe I'll dual boot
with Damn Small Linux pretty soon here.
