I don't think they do....the FDD connector is only on the expansion unit. You could use a FDD or CD that has a PCMIA connection if you have one.

 

Easiest way would be to get a network card up and running on them and then do any installs from that, to get the network card going then I guess you are looking at using a compact flash card in a PCMIA adaptor  or a PCMIA hard drive.

 

Alternatively you could use the IRDA port to transfer stuff from a laptop (SLOOOOWW) or mebbe a DCC connection.

 

There are a couple of other ways but they get slower and more complicated....for example if you have a pcmia modem card you could email them to yourself and then set up the pen tablet to dial into your ISP.

 

If the devices all come into a central delivery spot then they will need testing repacking etc.....it might be possible for a team of us to load a common set of drivers on at that time so at least some networking is running.

Does anyone know if these things come with a floppy drive or CD-rom
so that software can be installed? The Fujitsu website says you can
use PCMCIA network/hard drive devices etc, but what if the drivers
for them aren't installed.

Did someone mention that they had heard of one of these running linux?
