Super Newbie Windows CE App Dev Question

Hello. I have written quite a few C/C++ Windows apps for both the 32 and
64-bit Wintel platforms using MSVS 2005 Pro.

But, I just got this quite ancient but nifty little H/PC called the Philips
Velo 500. It runs Windows CE v2.0 and has a MIPS R4000 processor inside it.
I was even able to get my XP64 workstation to 'ActiveSync' with the Velo 500
on a 115kbps COM2 connection by using version 3.6 of that software (version
4.5 said that the Velo 500 wasn't supported anymore, haha).

Is there a way to write C/C++ apps for this Velo 500? Or, a MSVS 2005 Pro
'Windows CE v2.0 configuration template' (or installable SDK) that can be
'loaded' to help port existing i386/x64 project code?

I do have access to older versions of MSVS compilers and machines running
older OS's if that would help (i.e. to create a 'development' workstation).

I know this Velo 500 is over 10 years old but I've never written a Windows
CE app before and I could easily see porting some of my more scientific
applications to the CE v2.0 format if it is possible.

Finding applications runnable on this unit, via Google searches, seems
extremely difficult.

Thanks!!

Sincerely,
Joe Gonko
