Due to popular request (well, one popular request anyway), I've put together a
tarball with the changes to SargeBook and uploaded that to

http://www.ipd.bth.se/ska/sim_home/psion.html

. I've also described how to use cramfs as root filesystem and making it

I should also say that the SargeBook work is mostly taken from Brian's
description on how to get SargeBook working on a 5MX.
