Re: Auction for a [jornada] 820 Linux kernel

Francois-Rene,

I have talked with a member of the original development
team for the 820 and (with luck!) it appears I might be able to get
the missing technical info about the 820 (but I myself won't
have enough spare time to work on the port....).

I will post a message to the mailing list and update the
handhelds web site when I get the actual info.

Thanks
jca
