Hmm, I thought that was documented on the 'getting started' wiki page --- turns out it's not.
This is part of the turnkey Linux distribution for the E3. You can get it here: http://the.earth.li/pub/e3/ Get the E3_release_v2.tar.gz file, and follow the instructions in the README.
Really this should be front and centre when it comes to doing stuff with the E3, but, well, this was all 14 years ago and the information's all bitrotted (I'd certainly forgotten it ever existed until you prompted me).

Werid no one ever thought of backing up the firmware before putting new firmware on it,what would happen if you didn’t work.
Anyone who uses the ams-delta-install script will have a NAND backup - there are 6 partitions and it backed them all up to the install USB stick. Don't ask me what they were or if I happen to still have my copies though! I didn't spend a lot of time looking at the original Amstrad firmware, I was more focussed on getting a clean Linux install up and running.
