Hey wujstefan,

Don't have a 235, but remember doing a bit of research before my Japan trip - in case I found one. Ended up with a 535 instead :)
Also the 235 being Japan only model, and not actually build IBM but Ricoh.

Not specifically drivers, but I think SolidPro did an Image of an installed 235 and put it on Archive.

...the article is listed as English.. soo maybe :)

There is also a restore cd image on archive - in Japanese - could get a little involved if you don't have the floppy/cd-drive for it.

An interesting little archive I came across on a Korean Blog, with BIOS updates and drivers - mostly Japanese. (have not tested in any way - so treat as anything unknown off the web - with all due caution!)
