Hi all.
So, I have an old Sharp HC-4500A. Its touchscreen is malfunctioning so
it's largely useless for WinCE, but it does have a usable keyboard and a
serial port, so I figured it'd make a great portable router console.
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to want to do any more than make weird
noises after I use pbsdboot1.exe to load the kernel. The screen doesn't
blank or otherwise change - just the "Loading" dialog at 100%.
I note that the lower-spec model HC-4100 is supported and as far as I
know, I have the same CPU. I guess something else important is
different...
Anyone have any clues to throw my way?
Thanks,
