Linux on an MC218

Posted at 11:58 AM on 2 October 2001

Spent a chunk of last night installing Linux on my MC218 (a rebadged Psion 5mx) with mixed success. It installs. It runs (after some prodding). To switch it off requires a hard reset. Hmmmm. Not entirely the most useful thing I've ever seen. I can't get it to access my Flash card, and the documentation is not so much as "terse" as "ter-". But overall it's an incredibly cool hack - just a bit immature - and needs more time (and documentation!) lavished on it so that idiots like me can use it. 8)
