Unfortunately, Buddy works only with the English ROM. A French keyboard is more important for me, so I will continue to enjoy my 200LX without this tool.

RE: 200LX Software
I have an OmniBook 425 with OmniBook System / Applications card (v 1.1 s).
Is it possible to use this card or applications from this card with a 200LX?
Of course I will try it, but maybe somebody has some experience with it.

Thanks for the answers!

There may be a couple of DOS utilities on the card that could be of some use on a 200LX, but by and large, it's all Windows 3.1 software. Plus it's a linear flash card, with a good portion of it being execute-in-place (i.e. not part of the D: filesystem on the card), and thus you'll need the MS Flash Filesystem driver (built into the bootable portion of the ROM) to even read the partition on there.

OK, and if I want to use/running Win 3.1 from that card is it possible?

Nope, but you can run Windows 3.0 (not 3.1) on the 200LX, albeit in real mode. I'm not sure how much software works in real mode, but I've done it before, and even had a serial mouse connected and working. It's a neat parlor trick, at the very least.
