Hi there... do any of the Jornada HPC series -- viz 680; 690; 720 and 728 -- contain flash ROMs to hold the WinCE OS, or do they all use fixed non-changeable ROMs? Tallis

Correct!

The Nec Mobilepro 790, 900 & 900c have the flash ROM.

There is a project to build a flash board allowing the loading of Linux or other OSs to a flash for the 710, 720 or 728...

a little correction, the 790 doesn't store the OS in flash rom. the flash rom is just for that internal disk the user can use to store files on. so only the 900 / 900c have the OS on flash.

Chiark: That project has been on and off for years. Let's see if they actually get anything done this time.

... at what stage of development is the project? Is there an accompanying Web-site? I'd be interested in finding out more.
