[iPAQ] h3950 Win CE3.0 restore files

Hello,

Recently, I had a problem restoring wince_image.gz to my IPAQ 3950. The problem was a corrupted file and at the time I had no way to restore CE 3.0 (Pocket PC 2000).
[Sending the IPAQ to HP/ Compaq for ROM repair would have cost at the minimum $80 US + shipping]

I finally found a very helpful link that I would like to share, so that others in the same fix can restore their 3950 if need be.

I have the files that I used to restore PPC2000 to my IPAQ and I thought you might want to include them in your ftp "feeds" directory, as there is no wince_image.gz for the 3950 there. I'm not sure how to send them to you however, as my email will not accomodate the 30.7MB file(s).
I will be glad to upload (reflash.ctl & h3950_image.bin) to the ftp directory of your choice if you like. Just let me know how if so.

I used a CF card for the restore and had BootLoader V2.21.
The restoration worked great and was taken directly from the ROM update 1.11 file (NK_Wisr111_00WWE_NBT.nbf)
The process of getting the file converted to a bin file is covered in the link above.

I hope this helps someone in need.

Regards,
Dave Brownscombe
