I just picked one up for this very purpose. Mine runs NTe, so I can't comment on the WinCE ones. The hardware is pretty cool, but I'm not having much luck getting it running (I have admittedly not spent much time with it yet). The NTe version comes with an "Upgrade Image" utility which Hpaq's customer support tells me can be used to load arbitrary firmware. I haven't poked at it enough to see if this is really true or not. There are a few versions of this that have PXE installed. My guess is that if you can pick one of these versions up it should be a slam dunk. > > I found one on ebay and thought about getting it.

Yes it is x86 compatible. I believe the Jammin 125 uses it too. Lots of embedded stuff running linux use it too, so base level compatibilty should be fine. The NIC is a national DP83815 which should work fine with etherboot. > Before I started bidding, I wanted to make sure I could get Linux (or at > least a boot rom) on this thing. You won't have much luck with a boot rom. I took mine apart and the only way you are going to get a boot rom on board is with a soldering iron... You might take a look at www.wyse.com too, the clients are really just rebadged Wyse 8235LE's. I'll post more if I make any progress. -- Tad Truex <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: To learn the basics of securing your web site with SSL, click here to get a FREE TRIAL of a Thawte Server Certificate: http://www.gothawte.com/rd524.html _____________________________________________________________________ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
