Well, I'm still in the waiting catagory, but just found out how they made
the iOpener "unhackable".
According to http://www.i-opener-linux.net/ they've snipped 4 of the pins on
the IDE connector, epoxied in the BIOS, and updated the BIOS.
Also apparently they've put in a really ugly "Terms of Sale".
Ugh, then I found this site. http://bell-2216.cheg.uark.edu/~iopener/
Simply put netpliance has done some ugly hacking on these themselves.
Wonder if thier 'hack proofing' will shorten the systems lifespan.
