Re: IBM Thinkpad 360PE support for Win95?

I d/l a copy of pen for Win95 for my Dauphin from a web site-- it 
provides support for Wacom/GRiD/Concerto systems.  I then copied my 
driver from Win 3.1 ontop of the new driver for the above systems and the 
familiar 3.1 dialog comes up but it doesn't seem to function... try it 
with your Thinkpad, it couldn't hurt... E-Mail me if you need the site 
name...

: On of our professors bought a Thinkpad 360PE, his third Thinkpad, just before
: Windows 95 came out.  He bought it to be able to use some multimedia
: applications that he is developing while lecturing.  He planned to use the
: pen to annotate slides and use the computer as a whiteboard.  The lecture
: halls in our new building allow computer screens to be projected for the entire
: class to see, but the screens cover the standard whiteboards.

: He has not been able to get any pen drivers from IBM.  They seem to blame
: Microsoft, but he also points out that the sound doesn't seem to work properly
: on the 360 PE while running Windows 95.  It does work under Windows 3.1.

: He says that he'd be happy with a driver that makes the pen function only as
: a mouse.  No sign of that either.

: The 360PE is a very nice laptop.  It may be the last Thinkpad that he purchases.
