could HP make the design publicly avaliable? (not only to "interested
parties").

btw. whats keeping HP from just making these boards and selling them?

- i don't know what price would let you profit from this (but probably $80
+ shipping would be more than enough)
- installing the board voids the warranty on the jornada (so it cuts down
on the cost of supporting the jornadas that were sold)
- it's a nice experiment for HP to see the market/possibilities for
linux pdas _with_ a keyboard
- judging from the amount of hits that my page regarding booting linux on
the jornada (around 4000) there is alot of people desperate enough to boot
linux via hpcboot - so probably at least a few hundred would buy the
board. ask Peter how many people downloaded his images.
