I tried disassembly (some other maybe too), but no success - I do not have
a really good debugger, I only had a disassembled code, which is not
enought.

I tried to contact HP engineers, but the WHP2000 is dead for several years
and nobody is willing to spend time (=money) on investigating how it was
(pretty understandable), also it's maybe some kind of NDA with MS.

As of flashbootldr: The guys from HP CRL wrote themselfs the bootldr for
flashboards, as experimental project to implement Linux on jornada. As CRL
is closed now, I am almost sure there is nobody with time to develop
anything for 6 years old device. The only stuff that is available for us
is the one on the handhelds.org, which is from mid-canceled linux
implementation project. I am glad that the outcome of this project was
linux running on J720, but we can hardly expect any more help from HP.
