Hmmm.  Sounds like a fun MIPS device.  There is currently an effort
underway to get NetBSD running on MIPS based handhelds.  Specifically
NEC Vr41xx based PDAs.  This is being done by a group of Japanese
hackers and isn't stable yet, to the best of my knowledge (my MIPS
based PDA comes in tomorrow or Monday).  They have written a boot
loader as well for WinCE.

There is also another effort to get the R39xx based PDAs working with
Linux, but I'm only allowed to mention it in passing.

There is another effort to get Linux working on a WINCE based X/Win
terminal which uses Vr4300, but I can't talk about it more than that.

What kind of MIPS processor is there?

I'm available for consulting on this :-)

Warner
