You got the much more recent 3400 - mine is a LT-P600 only. But it does NOT
need an active pen, meaning the nail of the finger is enough to operate it.
The 3400 needs, IMHO, the active pen, does it?

The recent 3400 which are on sale here in CH (MediaMarket 3333.- CHF) have
all WinXP Tablet Edition pre-installed. You should get rid of the NT
somehow. My "old" LT-P600 did not have a functioning HWR program installed
as I got it and it took me about 3 months to find someone here in CH to help
me. None of the 15 Fujitsu-Siemens dealers in the CH was able to deliver
something nor to re-install the OS. But finally I found a non-FSC dealer
which had a special harddisk copy machine and was able to copy the content
of a brand new LT-P600 onto a second 60GB HD.
Before that I played around with W98, W2k and LINUX installation too and got
it sort of working except the HWR. My problem is that I lack the bootable
floppy disk drive which is needed to get LINUX and thus LiLo onto it. But I
installed everything with the HD connected to a desktop Windows machine. The
pen control of the LINUX worked too but I didn't play w/ HWR under X.

Yep. And it was cheaper (700CHF) than e.g. the PhotoTainer, a LINUX driven,
20GB-HD MP3 player and CF-card reader thing which I was just about to get,
before I found the LT-P600. And I like the bath tub video watching - need
now a wall mount support... :-)
