Hi,

The name is Masahiko Ito.
All the details in
http://web.kyoto-inet.or.jp/people/m-ito/netbsd/minimo_hpcmips.html

It worked, I used his binaries in my z50 but was very very slow, near 1
minute to load a page. Seems to heavy and needs to be put on a diet.

I am trying to spread the word and get all the efforts together:

BTW wasn't there this guy from Japan who was able to compile and run Minimo
on his handheld? I need to check the archives to see what went there. Maybe
we should keep that guy in touch.
