I don't think the stylus will work out of the box. The rest should.
If nothing works, just re-install the original FW file.

unfortunately, it's not that easy....
the way that the installed firmware accepts updates... looks like on boot, it checks for those "jbcupdate.bin" files, extracts files from it then replaces the installed firmware with new firmware
^ since I still don't know how to read those files, i can't just place some WinCE 6.0 or linux firmware as jbcupdate.bin and expect the firmware to install it correctly... might even brick my device
a) either I can find some bug / crash the main screen to drop down to the WinCE 6.0 desktop, and find out more info about the system... or some bug to load/start WinCE 6.0 binaries copied to the memory card
b) find out how the firmwares are packaged <- might be a whole lot of digging / hexediting... or if ectaco simply tells me how they package it... prolly won't happen
c) JTAG debugging to find out more info about the software on the device
