If all fails, try this, http://panasonic.jp/support/global/c...formatter.html

It worked for me.

debernardis, thanks for the tip. For some reason it didn't want to run from my sd card. I used sudo because I thought it might be a permissions problem. And I highly recommend wordperfect, it is free and Word paled in comparison at the time. WP will even let you save in Word 6.0 format. WP 3.5e is still used today and has an active support at wordperfectmac yahoo group.

OSEmuTech great work! Is it possible to shift the Basilisk screen up to get rid of the white boarder at the top? Also how do I go about getting xkbd? Wasn't able to find install instructions in this forum or in google.

Keep up the outstanding code.

I noticed the white border at the top of the emulation too. I wish I had time and the development experience for tweaking the code. It's always been a rather complicated program as it's like a Mac built via code to run on other operating systems. Hopefully t3h can knock that out as well when he tries getting the sticky mouse fixed and full screen working (that would be awesome). I'm going to check whether full screen currently works once I get my SDHC card setup again.

The build I created uses native Xwindows and esd calls instead of SDL for display and sound. SDL is known to slow things down, which is another reason why this build is faster.

xkbd can be grabbed from Arnim's page: http://pupnik.de/xkbd.html

It's also possible to run DOS (fast) and Windows (slow) via Arnim's DOSBox port for Maemo: http://pupnik.de/dosbox.html

Check out the thread about DOSbox for more tips and alternative keyboard layouts for xkbd: http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ead.php?t=5686

Looks like xkbd is not supported on OS2008. Is that correct?

That is incorrect.

Go into Red Pill Mode to install the relevant packages under OS 2008.

PS: Make sure you install these debs first or you will get dependency errors.

I guess it has been answered, but yes Corel produced Wordperfect which for many in business was considered better than 'Word'. There was also a full office suite and I have a message out to a friend who is still working for them and may have older software. Corel also produced DRAW and other drawing and image/photo programs, but they might not be suitable for the tablet. At one time they were really trying to chase Adobe and aligned a lot of their products in harmony with Adobe standards.

Thanks.

O.k. friend, have to hunt for it in my old storage. I have a newborn baby so time is a little limited. I may have a second original copy of OS8.

If not, is it possible to burn a duplicate of an OS cd? Never tried that before.
