The guy who is doing the linux port has web pages at:
www.redhat.com/~ed/news.html.It includes links to the bootloader pages, and
if you ask him nicely he'll give you a copy of the tech information that
psion have given him (i havn't got a copy).

The only problem i can see is that the pcmcia chip (CL-PS6700) (which i
assume is used in the psion for driving the compact flash card), is covered
by an NDA, which may prevent a release of source code...

If you ask Sequoia Technology Ltd. (0118 925 8000) nicely they'll give you a
copy of the CL-PS7110 data sheet for free.
