    Maybe I missed it somewhere but is there a good instruction for a
    Win7 install for the 19 MK1's?

    Even though the thread is primarily aimed at installing Windows 7 on a CF-18 digitizer model, the instructions on that HOWTO thread has previously been noted to work for the CF-19. (In fact, if you look closely at those install instructions, the Panasonic-specific drivers used for the installation are all Windows 7 drivers that have been released with CF-19 models.)

    If anything, with a newer convertible tablet model, the Windows 7 install process should be easier, as certain of the older models with some specifically-listed hardware components require special work-arounds to get functionality under Windows 7.

    Great thanks. I will give that a try. Usually I install the factory WinXP
    but I have a friend that wants 7 on his.
