... unsing UcLinux, would it be possible, or Debian? 360lx has a black and white screen, is that a problem?

I have an idea that the only thing stopping my is a bootloader for Linux that runs on WinCE 2.00. Does anyone know of one?

The source code for the 720 bootloader is available, so if you're feeling brave you could take a look at that. I had a brief look, and must admit that it looked quite complex...

Bob,

There does appear to have been some work done on developing a bootloader for SH3-based Windows CE 2.0 machines. I've found some information at the following links:

http://www.tcos.org/Bulletin/current/CE.html

-- Site has a great deal of information, but no time frame as to when the project was being worked on. Avoid the link near the bottom to a LinuxSH3 page at SJB.net, as the site's gone, and goes to a spam page, in essence. Also, LinuxCE.org appears to be gone, as is the SH3-related AOL page. The GTE page was locked when I tried it - it might be locked temporarily, but I have no way of knowing.

http://netbsd.org/Ports/sh3/faq.html

-- Not actually Linux, but NetBSD, and it looks more like talk of development, than an established version.

http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-sh3/2005/03/08/0003.html

-- Discussion regarding a CE 2.0 bootloader, which appears to not be running correctly on an Ericcson MC16. Might be useful to talk to the developer, though, who's one of the participants.

http://handhelds.org/archive/linuxce-faq.html

-- A copy of the old Linux CE project FAQ. Hate to say it, but it's looking pretty abandoned.

Also, have you checked www.handhelds.org ? Someone over there might be able to point you in the right direction.

Let me know if you have any success - I'd like to try something similar with my 360LX.
