Best way to get win98SE on 2300. (and 1200)

I own a 2300 and am expecting a 1200 soon (good deal on Ebay for that one)
My 2300 has 98, but an old version and I'd like to get SE on it for Firewire and other updates.
I have the HD adapter and spare HDs so I can experiment with the 2300 and no danger to the original OS.
What I'm wondering is what drivers/programs work best. (Mostly Pen related)
I don't care about screen rotation, just need to be able to use the pen. (it's usually mounted in my car as a travel aid)
Through the help of an Iappliance user, I have:
Audio.zip Cicpenx.zip Fpsipen.zip Penserv.zip Windrv.zip userguide.pdf
Biosset.zip Dev.zip Mfg2300.zip Pmset.zip diskutil.zip
Cichrs5.zip Fpsi95.wri Modem.zip Video.zip pen.zip

Most of these are the normal drivers and should work with '98SE, correct?
The main question is what pen software works best with '98?

I have the same needs for a 1200. If I recall, the one coming only has DOS on it, I'll be needing to install everything from scratch.

Any comments on how anyone's managed in the past would be greatly appreaciated.

Yes, the standard drivers from Fujitsu and the software you list will all work with SE. Just copy the SE install CD onto your 2300's drive (using the HD adapter) or share a CD drive across a network, then run the SE install. It should update your current installation, and you shouldn't have to re-install the drivers.

I use Windows Pen Services (penserv.zip) along with CIC's handwriting recognition engine (Cichrs5.zip) with SE, and it works fine.

I just got a 1200 and had win2000 on it and everything worked but could not laod any programs on it. so I reformated it and installed Win98se and can't seem to get pen drivers to work. Is it possible to get a copy of them from one of you and maybe the hard drive utilities so i can suspend to drive instead of ram?

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Ok.
I've managed this weekend to completely reinstall both my 1200 and 2300.
I've been wanting to get the 2300 done for a long time, it still had the original 98 on it from when I bought it,
I was afraid to try a reinstall because I didn't have the proper drivers.
But, after getting a great collection of drivers/utils, I gave it a shot.
On the 1200, I needed:
ess95.exe (from 95drivers.zip)
I replaced the audio drivers that 98 installed because of control issues with the '98 version.
Pen services (from Penservices2.zip)
CIC 5 from cicHandwrite5.zip
There wasn't a need for an actual pen driver, seems it was inside penservices2.
I also grabbed the 1200 BIOS upgrade from fujitsu.com (current is 1.11, I had 1.08)
One odd thing with the install, while 98 was installing I had my PS2 mouse off the port replicator,
but as soon as windows was running for real, it stopped and never went again. (I used a USB mouse after
the initial install)

On the 2300, I needed:
video.zip Windows couldn't figure out what video card was in the machine.
audio.zip Again I wanted to put the tablet specific version of the drivers in.
modem.zip
Fpsipen.zip Seems the tablet itself is device needing a driver on the 2300.
penserv.zip
Cichrs5.zip
At this point, the 2300 was perfectly functional and when I got the Margi card installed, it played DVDs through the speakers with no troubles.
