ACE, Touchscreens and windows 3.1

Hello All,

If anyone is curious about using touchscreens I have successfully installed
Windows 3.1 and ACE client on a 40 mb Hard Drive.  Unfortunately it requires
more than 4 mb of RAM to run.

I am using EHT 400C Epson color VGA touchscreens.  If you can find any of
these things they are turning out to be worth their wieght in gold.  I got
mine from an Ebay auction.  They have 4 PCMCIA slots, printer port, and
serial port, also a keyboard or PS2 mouse input.  I still don't have one
networked but have a card on the way.  I have installed all software using a
null modem cable and intersvr and interlnk (very cool and simple program!
Just keep in mind you cannot connect a FAT32 machine with a FAT16 using this
program.  I had to revive an old 486 to do the transferring. (wasn't too
painful a process).

If you want any more info, check out my HA page at:

I will be updating it with my progress sometime this week.

Cheers,

Kevin
