The photographs this reconstruction was measured against. Where
Psion's own code did not survive, these are the only evidence of
what PsionLX looked like.
psion-netbook-pro-linux-psionlx_1.jpg
THE PRIMARY REFERENCE. A photograph of a real netBook Pro
prototype running PsionLX, from pulster.de. It shows the
Programs screen with 21 applications in four groups, the Psion
watermark down the left, the TODAY / PROGRAMS / TASKS strip
down the right with the red power button at its foot, and the
dock along the bottom.
Everything in the reconstruction that could not be taken from
Psion's source was taken from this image: the application
names, their grouping, the tab strip, the power button.
psionlx-today-screen.jpeg, psionlx-beta-splash-screen.jpeg
The Today screen and the boot splash on real hardware.
psion_lx_logo.jpg, psion-splash_screen.png
Psion's own artwork, from their oe-netbook tree.
gpe-gallery-netbook.png, gpe-gallery-netbook-browser-640.png
NOT PsionLX, despite frequently being labelled as such. These
are stock GPE on a netBook Pro -- the giveaway is that the Desk
button carries GPE's own paw logo rather than Psion's. Included
so the distinction is on the record. See SOURCE.txt.

Screenshots of the rebuild for comparison against the
photograph, including the power button side by side with the
original.
netbook-pro-cd/1000999D.ISO 30,750,720 bytes
Psion's netBook Pro companion CD, dated 10 November 2004. Recovered
from the Internet Archive.
Entirely Windows-side and nothing to do with Linux, but it is a
genuine Psion artefact and the user manuals are the best
documentation of the hardware that exists:
User_Manual_English.pdf and French, German, Italian, Spanish
MSASYNC.exe ActiveSync
USBSetup.exe
h2ksyncoemsetup3404.exe Pocket On-Schedule sync
USB Activesync cable instruction.PDF
On-Schedule Outlook Sync User's Guide.pdf
BooStDongle.pdf
Documentation for the BooSt serial dongle, which is how you reach
the bootloader prompt on this machine. Needed for anything in
2-WINDOWS-CE-RESTORE.

jlime-xfce-image-2012.3-netbookpro-20120311.rootfs.tar.bz2
jLime 2012.3 for the netBook Pro: a full XFCE desktop on Linux
3.2.9, seven years newer than PsionLX and completely unrelated to
it. 28,423 files. Nothing Psion in it -- no GPE, no Psion branding.
It is here for two reasons. It is the most capable Linux that was
ever made to run on this hardware, so if you want a usable modern
system rather than a historical reconstruction, this is it. And its
kernel modules are a useful hardware reference (airo, hostap,
orinoco, the Bluetooth PCMCIA cards).
jlime.com is gone; this came from HPC:Factor's mirror.
