people hacking the 35S. I suspect there's info out there.
I seem to recall that the CPU in there is actually based
on the 6502!
It uses a microcontroller from GeneralPlus (formerly SunPlus) with a
6502-compatible core. It would be extremely difficult to hack it,
because the firmware is in on-chip masked ROM, and the part is mounted
chip-on-board under a blob of epoxy. I'm not sure that even Tony would
dispute that it is not a user-serviceable part.
