Someone around here must know the MP900 hardware. I suspect if apm command is not working then probably need a different driver. Perhaps the MP900 with its 400Mhz cpu may do the job adequately independently.at least judging how well it performs with Opera in mode. Jornada 720 IMO at 200mhz lacks the firepower to surf the net, thus I am using Devuan (Linux ) combined with X-Forwarding from a RaspberryPi via ethernet and it works great. does it boot directly from ROM or through/ on top of WinCE.Net? Do you have a reference where I could learn more? I don't know a thing about Jlime on MP900. Ok so you know about the CMonex 4.2 Rom, good. I agree with you about the keyboard being the best ever. I would like it to be this NEC specifically because it has one of the best keyboards I've ever laid my fingers on.ītw as a separate question does WinCE 4.2 support WPA2?

WinCE works pretty well for what it is on this device but I have a dream of a nice portable Linux terminal. I really am only interested in Linux at this point. I actually already updated to CMONEX 2.0 ROM before having a go at Linux. Posted from my Jornada/Devuan/RasPi "hybrid contraption" Perhaps he will chime in on this ( cicadas willing ). Grand Poobah and HPC:Factor/Member Emeritus Rich Hawley is an expert on building custom ROMs and wrote a tutorial years ago on this.

You will be pleased with the upgrade and should still be able to boot into JLime I believe Dual boot should be possible. I have one of several MP900 still running WinCE 3.0 so I will upgrade its bootloader and then the ROM and give you all the details, if you are interested. Again must start with BOOTLOADER 4.10 before custom ROM flashing. There are a few tricks that can save you time and trouble. I can walk you through all this to save you time, frustration, even moments of fear should your screen turn black on reboot. The CMonex ROM upgrade is in a separate special repository as I recall (Jlime files are located there too ) at. HPCFactor has the bootloader and stock MP900 ROM (NOT recommended as it is a bare bones ROM, IMO ) in the downloads section. You can start by navigating to Control Panel => NEC Firmware info: Bootloader is listed- It has to be 4.10 before flashing the new CMonex ROM.
You need to be certain your MP900 has the correct Bootloader version before flashing the CMonex 4.2 ROM though!!! Upgrading the bootloader is also easy.

If you install Opera mini5 and use a cheap ebay $7 Ambicom WL54 wifi card (or Netgear ma401 ) you can surf the internet including nearly all Https:// sites using much more secure WPA (than the unsecure WEP WinCE 3.0 is limited to ) Even better is to upgrade to the Cmonex 4.2 ROM as she did a super job many years ago creating a custom ROM with lots of great programs and utilities. This is easy to do with a small CF card with the upgraded ROM firmware. IMHO, you would be better off upgrading your MP900 (with the WinCE3.0 ) to what is essentially the MP900c which runs on WinCE.Net 4.2!
