Too bad my MobilePro 400 and 450 died. don't have any other NEC
machines, although I do have a Everex E-10 with a Vr4102 in it.
There is also an effort to get NetBSD ported to NEC's MobileGear II
machines. You can read about it at:
http://www.jp.netbsd.org/ja/JP/Project/hpcmips/
They have a bootloader that will boot an ELF kernel off a FAT CF
card. Plus NetBSD is booting to a fairly advanced stage.
I have also tried to catalog all the PDAs that are mips based at
http://www.freebsd.org/~imp/pdamips.html
as well as links to various web sources of information from datasheets
to WinCE.
