That would be swell!

A particularly tricky thing would be to handle the memory map
so as to play nicely with WinCE when the machine is hard reset.
My guess is that even soft reset (i.e. the normal power off then on cycle)
will require playing nice with the ROM.
It would be nice not to have to decompile the ROM to achieve that.
Information about the mapping between devices and I/O
and any special trick would be nice, too.

That's ok. I'm sure we'll find someone.
Heck, at worst, I'd do it, if we collect enough funds.
