I doubt you would be able to do that kind of swap since the ROM had the
system and the system is closely related to the hardware. Screen, internal
memory, PC card slots, etc. The first problem you would have, although I
haven't checked myself, would be to fit the eMate ROM onto the 130
motherboard. I'm fairly sure that the pinout is not the same, so it wouldn't
fit. If not, I'm sure that Frank or someone else would have tried it.
