I had one of those, and recently donated it to someone while clearing out a bunch of stuff. There was a thing you could get to boot it off a CF card, and I ran NetBSD from a 1GB IBM MicroDrive on it.
- classichasclass 4y agoDo you mean running the booter .exe from the card manually, or making it autoboot NetBSD from the CF from a cold start? I haven't seen anything saying the latter was possible, though a lot of people would have liked it. It doesn't seem possible on my Jornada 690 either.
- Gordonjcp 4y agoYou ran a program that you stored on the card that booted the card, from the WinCE desktop. I don't think it was ever possible to boot external media directly.
- classichasclass 4y agoRight, that program is still provided as part of the standard distribution. Well, at least that much works, anyway!
