I managed to waste some time today looking around for people's previous experiences with the netbook platform on which the Letux 400 is based, "waste" because it involved trawling the Small Linux Laptop forum for information: another reason why people should try and structure their discoveries, not just use forums for everything, and absolutely not just dump archives on random file-sharing sites (presumably with no corresponding sources, either).
Ultimately, I ended up updating the 3MX page on Wikipedia and fixing a lot of its unsourced commentary: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3MX This happened because I read the following mailing list message: https://www.mail-archive.com/mipsbook-devel@linuxtogo.org/msg00308.html It appears that the author of that message was the developer of 3MX. The corresponding Wikipedia page now provides a fair amount of information about that particular software distribution, but I was more interested in the things I discovered along the way. One of these was a proposed source for replacement batteries (at least for the rather similar Elonex netbook variant): http://linuxlaptopforum.ark2webdesign.co.uk/index.php/topic,895.msg6682.html#msg6682 Unfortunately, I haven't been able to make any further progress on booting replacement payloads from SD card today. It still isn't clear if U-Boot is successfully executing my payload.
