This is the site for the NEC [[Mobile Pro]] 770/780/790 set of Handheld [[PCs]]. These handhelds are rather neat, and can make a powerful target for a strong linux system. Among the overall specs of these things we have:

* VR4121 168mhz 32/64 bit processor (PD30121) - you can access some info about it here: http://www.linuxdevices.com/products/PD3171456766.html
* 32mb of RAM memory
* 24mb of ROM memory
* 16mb of Flash (only on the 790 model)
* A PC card bridge serving one PCMCIA slot and one [[Compact Flash]] slot
* Near full size keyboard
* 640x240 64k color DSTN LCD screen with touch panel
* 56k modem
* [[IrDA]]
* NEC proprietary serial plug, requires NEC cable or just wire a cable yourself and solder it onto the pins
* VGA out
Components inside it listed and checked so far (this list was made while fixing a problem with the PCMCIA socket, so it will be updated later with more accurate information) - refer to the board picture for more info, I will try to get a scan of it later.

* NEC VR4121A D30121F1 (PD30121) Processor
* RICOH RFC5C396L PC Card controller
* CONEXANT RP56LD (Modem controller)
* [[Media Q]] MQ200 LCD Controller
* 2x HYUNDAI GM72V661641CLT7J 64mbit chips onboard
* 2x HYUNDAI GM72V661641CLT7J 64mbit chips on a plugable board (memory upgrade anyone?)
* 2x NEC 023C128040L (???) -> Supposedly the ROM chips, but I can't find any information. I haven't really looked for it yet either.
Here we got a pic of the thing:

I'm currently working using the linux-mips.org [[VR41xx]] code with a few modifications and code obtained from Linux on MCR700 project. Development is going on continuously on this device, the page will be updated when deemed necessary.
