Dual boot on 38xx

Now eQuip is running on 38xx I have another question:
Is it possible or are there plans to have a dual boot option on qPac?

I would like to install eQuip in SD-card or CF-card
and have the original PocketPC software in the main memory.

The it would be nice to have an option to boot
into the PocketPC or the eQuip.

So the synchronisation with Outlook could be done with
ActiveSync under PocketPC software.
After reboot into eQuip the data can be used from software
running in eQuip.

It will be possible to boot from a CF card. However, you will lose
everything you don’t have backed-up onto the CF card under PocketPC.
Basically this means you backup, reboot into QNX, reboot into WinCE
and restore. Unfortunatly, WinCE keeps everything in DRAM and it will
be lost when you go into QNX and you won’t be able to access the information
in the backup area on the CF disk.
