Here's my crazy idea. Tell me if it's realistic.

neat pdf, just whats needed,

but doesnt solve the original questions here.

well, if you could find the psion people who contributed to netbook pro linux, i daresay there'd be a way of getting the information out of them.

It's whether you can find them or not - that would be your best bet IMHO. Have you signed up to teknet?

I belong to Teknet, yes.

I didn't know there was ever even an attempt to build a version of linux for the NBP though.

I'm guessing it was done as skunkworks at Psion... There was a beta version which has never to my knowledge been seen in the wild, and a Netbook pro sold on ebay with the beta version of Linux installed.

Getting hold of that might give some insights?

Jon Bradbury seems to be owning the Angstrom distro work...

If they actually developed Linux, aren't they required by international law to make the source code available to anyone who requests it?

rocketman had that linux, i know.

and he had no idea on how to reformat the nand so brick.

one more reason why documentation is useful, i'll host that pdf on my site soon.
