The sh1 and sh2 aren't *that* similar; substantial changes might be
necessary.

Plus, there's only 2Mb of RAM in this thing, and by its nature you want
the OS in this device to be as small as possible in order to reserve as
much space as possible for MP3 buffering. Plus, its possible
communication modalities with other hardware are quite limited; in fact,
without hardware mods they are nearly nil. (As in, you can't even use
the disk, much; while the USB cable is plugged in, the ISD-200/ISD-300
has control of the disk, and the sh1 had better not write to it; the
on-disk controller could be in any state at all.)
