I'm lucky enough to have one of these and would be willing to experiment. I have experience with working with firmware(u-boot in particular). I have to figure out a way to open up the case enough to see if I can find out what kind of flash chip is on this board. I've heard of boards with dual-flash parts so if you screw up one you can still boot. Is there any strategy out there for doing this with pc motherboards yet? Don't tell me I have to lift the flash to burn it and put it back on the board... Jeff
What are they using in the Lindows laptop for a keyboard/power managment controller? The keyboard scan, power managment (power buttons, cover open/closed) is typically done with a micro with its own firmware. The chipset is the Via 8606 and 82C686B with the C3 Ezra CPU.
