Well here's your next point of failure. Archive that stuff.

Wow, good point. Need to do that ASAP!

I had never heard of the E01 before. Shame I found out about it once it's already (effectively) dead and gone.

I remember hearing about it back when it was new, and it's cool to see it's not hard to give one new life. I imagine there aren't stacks of them kicking around though, so it might work better to snag the smallest Samsung Frame and run an RPi etc. though it for a wall-computer-running-Linux.

Yeah, this project is more for the strange souls who refused to toss their EO1s in the bin after the iOS app dropped from the App Store.

I'm so happy to see that it's easy to keep the E01 out of the dump. It looks like it's only about ~6 years old?

Didn't see where he says what CPU, RAM, and monitor resolution it has.

Screenshot in TFA blows up nicely. I see at the bottom "996 MHz" and what might be 2 CPU core load meters. So, with mention of Android, we can guess a 2-core 1GHz ARM, anyway.
