Re: Re: [jornada] Jornada 7xx Flashboard

Firstly, to avoid any confusion, I've to say that my unit is a 728.
Afaik, all the measures are the same, but the component layout might
differ a bit from the 720.

I tried to suit a cf card below the keyboard, but unfortunately it is
about one millimeter too thick, so something has to be done to the cf
form factor.

Anyhow, I took a couple of pictures that might interest some of you,
eventually Mark Gollahon:

Btw, add my name to the list of the interested ones.

Cheers Otto Waltari
