It seems, indeed.
I found that Sony has put some web pages which look like
a technical support for NEWS-OS at:

I would willingly partecipate to such FAQ by sharing all the information

However, I don't have any experience in mantaining nor in contributing
to FAQs.

The model I own is a NWS3260 with 16Mb RAM.
I've downloaded the snapshots for newsmips but I haven't tested them

When I'll try, I'll report to this mailing list.
