You would like to think its one module away, but alas it isn't.
I experimented with grabbing Zaurus and iPaq loadable modules. But iRex compiled the iLiad's kernel with some curious choices as to what got compiled in.
These choices mean we have to have our own loadable modules, and even a simple USB keyboard requires more than one module to get it running.
One thing that is only a single module away is CDROM/DVD support. I've plugged in a DVD drive and mounted a FAT32 CD-R I cut just so I could prove it worked.
The iLiad ships without ISO-9660 support, this is another module I intend to get working. (ISO-9660 is the standard filesystem for CD's) I figure myself and/or someone else will be creating a Linux iLiad distro sometime soon. It will be useful to be able to mount a CD directly to install tools off a distro CD.
