Unfortunatly PDA's are not like PC's. There are piles of custom hardware
onboard these devices (read/write and read only registers for lots of
different configuring). Plus, even the "standard" parts of the SA11x0 can
be wired in a number of different ways. So, unless Toshiba is willing
to release hardware-level docs like Compaq has been doing (three cheers
for CRL/Compaq!) you will have to reverse engineer everything from
PocketPC 2002.
