If it wasn't manufactured as a Tablet PC in the first place, I doubt if it
has the qualifying hardware. The point is moot, however, because you cannot
obtain the software (Windows XP Pro with the Tablet PC Edition superset)
without having an MSDN subscription.

The hardware requirements are here:

I am not familiar with the LPT 600, but I would say you're missing the
ability to use the pen and do digital Ink, for one. 8-) The built-in
recognizer is not on your system, so you probably could not convert Ink to
text. If you want additional information about what Tablet PCs do, you
might want to check here and follow the various links:
