Hmm. They do have the same instruction set and you could tell them
apart so I suppose it would be possible but as no hardware components
(well the 5mx has the same serial port as the 7) are shared it would
be pretty pointless.

I don't know where the Psion7/netBook falls. I'm only going for a 5mx
port. (This port might also work on the 5mxPro and possibly the Revo,
I'm not sure. The Linux people have started calling their port psion
windemere which encompasses these three similar machines.)
