It should have been a linux PDA to be launched at the turn of the century. Aborted, just like the Xpander.

RE: HP X25: Information Requested
That's a blast from the past. I wrote the boot loader for this. HP's ACO contracted my employer at the time (Lineo) to provide an ethernet capable bootloader using a PCMCIA network card. I was the person picked to do it. The Linux port was done in Lineo's Taiwan office.

However, I'd never seen the case. I didn't know that it got that far along before the project was cancelled.

I've got a box packed away somewhere with the development prototype boards and other paraphernalia. I ought to sell it.
