-!!General notes
+The 192/256 and 256/256 models have WinXPe on them
, the other models have WinNTe
.
! Video depth
It appears that the driver [XOrg] uses for this unit can't support a bit depth of 24bits, but it does support 16bits.
+
+! [PXE] Boot
+
+The 64/64 model has an image for WinNTe + PXE, which can be downloaded from Compaq's website. The WinXPe models appear to both support [PXE] boot. If you don't have one of these models, the other models can be made to PXE boot by modifying the firmware.
+
+! Flashing the device
+
+You need a program called netxfer, available from Compaq's download site. This needs MS Java, however, which is not available from MS anymore. Try http://java-virtual-machine.net/download.htm
+
+
+
+!!General notes
Interestingly, if you allow the bootp to wait, it times out after an hour and tries to tftp /tftpboot/kernel on port 10069.
