Found (and purchased) a PVP made by Dreameo which uses an Intel XScal CPU at 400Mhz (not sure of the model number, the docs don't specify), with a USB port, CF slot, touchscreen, and color LCD...

The manual for it is here: http://www.dreameo-usa.com//site/pdf/PVP-Manual.pdf

Anyone know/think it'd be possible to put NetBSD on the beast, and get X running, so I can compile XASTIR  on it and use it as an APRS mapping station?

I plan on putting a USB hub on the USB port, and running a cheap USB keyboard, a cheap USB trackball, and a USB-Serial converter (for connection to the TNC).

Any and all opinions on this will be greatly appreciated.
