Re: iPaq IA-1 issues...

[David Rhodus <drhodus@xxxxxxxxx>]

I just have a lot old iPaq(where ever it is now), because I recall it 
having an ARM processor.
The most I ever got going with it was an Linux install, it was ok for a 
wireless MP3 player...
But any real work or hacking on it at the time was way too slow.
