To get the bootloader version press power+notes and poke the reset. the screen will go black(backlight off) and in strong light it should say Serial and have a number at the bottom of the screen. The number is the bootloader.
FTP is accessed thru the Qlinks tab at the top of the page.

Holding both power and notes, poke the reset hole with the stylus.

Good! now all you need is a ROM. I suggest the ppckitchen for cooking up your own ROM.
