I tried disassembly (some other maybe too), but no success - I do not have 
a really good debugger, I only had a disassembled code, which is not 
enought.

I tried to contact HP engineers, but the WHP2000 is dead for several years 
and nobody is willing to spend time (=money) on investigating how it was 
(pretty understandable), also it's maybe some kind of NDA with MS.

As of flashbootldr: The guys from HP CRL wrote themselfs the bootldr for 
flashboards, as experimental project to implement Linux on jornada. As CRL 
is closed now, I am almost sure there is nobody with time to develop 
anything for 6 years old device. The only stuff that is available for us 
is the one on the handhelds.org, which is from mid-canceled linux 
implementation project. I am glad that the outcome of this project was 
linux running on J720, but we can hardly expect any more help from HP.
