I do not have any experience with Jensens.

However, I keep PC164, DS10, DS10L, DS20 alive and plan to revice 
my XP1000 too. A 21264-base half embedded system worked fine until I 
broke a connector on it so hoping to revive it too.

PC164, DS10, DS10L worked fine with 4.1 for me, others are on earlier 
kernels.
