does anyone know of any way to buy the license for the se/30 rom from apple and and start the production of affordable se/30 machines? except include a higher resoloution colour screen instead of the black & white one

I've had the opportunity to work with several different PDA operating systems now (GEOS/Zoomer, Palm, Newton & Windows CE), and I am still at a loss as to how these operating systems fail to capture more of the market. I know, ultimately it comes down to what seems to be the main driver for computer technology these days, that being multimedia, and let's face it, PDA's are a long way from being true to that idea. They get close, and then seem to fall behind.

This is a test of the blogging system. This is only a test. If this had been an actual blog entry real content would follow.

Prototyping the extra Flash ROM has turned out to be harder than I thought. I have decided touse a 8 Mb / 1 MB LPC bus Flash part. Since it uses the LPC bus, there is not a lot of signals to hook up. I tried to find a socket for the chip locally, but no one had one. I will need to order it from Digikey. But for the first prototype, I will just wire it up. This will allow me to get the code debugged. I have added the code to the FPGA, but without the circuit I cannot test it. I was hopeing that I would get some time over the holiday to build the circuit.
