You can download the manual from Fujitsu.  Just point your browser towards

Under Product select "Tablet PC", Series is "Stylistic" and the Model is
"Stylistic 3400".  That will take you to the download page.  I have two
tablets that I bought on eBay - a 3400 and, more recently, a 3500.  On both
I installed a Netgear PCMCIA wireless card along with an optical USB mouse.
I have Tcl/Tk installed on both (I do virtually all of my HA programming in
Tcl) and this has turned out to be a fairly inexpensive way to put control
units around the house.  I use them for controlling the whole house audio
(Channel Plus MDS-6 units), HVAC control and monitoring (via an HAI OmniPro)
and security camera control (simply controls an ATV DPX16 mux which then
displays on the televisions, not the 3400).  All of these apps seem
to be as zippy as they are on my main PC.  All in all, I've been quite happy
with both units.  The 3400 does have a dead area on the touchscreen that I
discovered too late to return it, but since I do most of the control with the
mouse, it really doesn't matter.  Once you're up and going, though, you
probably will want to do a full check of the unit just to make sure it is as
it should be.
