I've put together a sample that reads ROM contents on iPaqs. It requires
flashmgr.dll that is present in pretty much all Compaq/HP versions of iPaq
ROM. Some other devices might have the same type of ROM and potentially a
copy of flashmgr.dll. I would appreciate information about that.

Sample code can be downloaded from
http://www.alexfeinman.com/download.asp?doc=iPaqAssetTag.zip
Although it does not contain specific functions for each ROM data element,
the way to retireve the information should be clear from it.

Hi alex

This program indeed works on our ipaqH3900 but it does not work on a symbol
ppt2837 nor the intermac 700c. This is probably because the flashmgr.dll is
not installed.

Did some testing today and found out that this does not work on iPAQ h55xx -
they use an new method of storing this data. The sample was modified to work
properly on h5555 (using iPAQUTIL.dll)
