Thanks for the info Bruce and also Bernie... greatly appreciated. My HP tablet is that of the convertible model that you speak of.
My last attempt at reaching Microsoft from the hotel was hilarious... Any of you knowledgeable gents are up for looking into my laptop on Friday afternoon? This time I will have Windows XP up and running...

Android has its own operating system that is not supported by Icom; same with Kindle. However, Lenovo and Toshiba have Tablet PC’s (laptops with pen applications and a convertible screen that folds to a tablet configuration – since they run Windows 7, they might support PCR-1000. Depends on whether ICom has kept up with Microsoft’s OS upgrades. PCR-1000 is an older receiver and may not be supported by a Windows OS later than Windows XP. Current Apple and Android tablets may not
have the horsepower to support real-time software-driven receivers. This situation will change over time as the tablets become more powerful, but the question is, will receiver manufacturers support these when the demand for SW receivers continues to drop.

ok... good to know.
I have had some success of such mis-matching devices using Ubuntu, but couldnt come up with the correct cabling with an OpenPC. The PCR worked for a limited time on the Palm OS but I have forgotten how it worked the first time years ago with help from a SWL in Italy over eBaY. Palm has since died as a popular OS and support with teething
problems is difficult to get.
Then I tried loading it on old Apple desktop as a precaution incase it permanently disables my iPad. No such luck. So is there any other tablet that would be compatible with the PCR-1000 or even PCR-1000 - Kindle, Android or otherwise?

Software for the iPad must be specifically written for the iOS operating
system used by Apple - iOS 5 is the current version. PCR-1000 is not
supported by iOS (any version).
