Reviving a
old topic from more than two years ago...
bibliophilezen is selling the Mitsubishi AMiTY VP on eBay for $98. Have a look:

Is anyone planning to get their hands on a Mitsubishi AMiTY VP tablet computer for Christmas. I'm considering getting it. However, I have some concerns here.
When I do get the AMiTY VP tablet computer, I'm gonna ways to attempt to install MS-DOS 6.22, Windows 3.1 w/Pen extensions.
The AMiTY VP comes with a 133 MHz AMD Am5x86 processor
(equivalent to a 75 MHz Mobile Pentium
) with a C&T 65548 integrated graphics card with 1 MB of display RAM capable of displaying 640 x 480 @ 65,536 colors. The tablet computer has a 810 MB 2.5" IDE hard disk with 16 MB of EDO memory, upgradable to 48 MB and it has Windows 95 OSR 2.1 pre-installed.
Windows 95 and Windows 98 chokes with just 16 MB of RAM and it uses a lot of disk space! Unfortunately, there might not be any drivers for Windows 3.1, because the unit dropped support for it.
I have found a couple of display drivers for Windows 3.1 when installed on the AMiTY:
1.
http://www.win31.de/edrivers.htm
2.

The first link has the generic SVGA drivers for Windows 3.1
(only capable of displaying 640 x 480 @ 256 colours
) and the second link has the C&T 65548 drivers which may not work correctly with Windows 3.1.
Now tell me this. Since the unit has no floppy drive, how will I be able to transfer the files when I attempt to install MS-DOS and Windows 3.1 on the AMiTY VP unit? When that is successful, where can I try to find the drivers for Windows 3.1 on the AMiTY VP?
Thank you for your time.
(If I've run out of options, I will have to get the Fujitsu Stylistic Pen 510 instead.
