I just won a Stylistic 500 on Ebay!! Has the A/C adaptor, 170meg hard drive and 20mb ram. Can't wait to get started playing with this. Now I just need to install a O/S and get a stylus. Any suggestions as what O/S to put on this?

my80 shove it:

(i just had to start with that)

what OS you put on your stylistic depends on if you want the full functionality of your computer or you want to hastle with it.

the stylistic was made when windoze 95 was on the way and the drivers for w95 are available. but since w95 uses 16 bit fat and w95b uses 32 bit fat hard drive format as do all subsequent windoze versions, i use windoze 95B. later versions of windoze will usually need a memory upgrade.

be sure to start with a bootable hard drive and load all the install programs for what software you will use before installing the hd, then set everything up after the hd is in the computer.

have fun,

The Stylistic 500 has a 486DX 50Mhz CPU. I have installed widows95B without too many difficulties. Is the 500 coming with windows95 pre-installed?

If you do not have a laptop you may want to get a CF card reader and a CF to PCMCIA adaptor so you can transfer files from your PC to the 500. Also if the unit is coming without any OS installed, you need to get files to the 500 so you can install windows.

I put together some basic instructions and an image file to boot off a CF card (using a CF to PCMCIA adaptor) http://sharkfin.fizzlez.com/fujitsu .

The 500 is slow. Depending on what you want to do with it. If you are using it as a web pad, it is slow but will work.
Good luck!

If you want to go the Linux route muLinux should be perfect for that tablet.

Check http://www.the-labs.com/Stylistic/1000.html for info about setting up the Stylistic specific stuff.
I have muLinux running on my Stylistic 1000 with X-Windows and full pen/handwriting support

The muLinux package installs onto a DOS partition and takes up less than 100 megs
