does anyone
know how to tell if an I-Opener is of the kind
which can be hacked? Can one tell from the serial number of
does the machine physically have to be opened?
Most of my links are on another computer, but here is a site to get you
started.
http://www.linux-hacker.net/ Plus, if you were to look through
the list archives there are probably some other links and info about a year
and a half ago. I was supposed to be getting one, but the company and
Circuit Shi** pulled a fast one on me, so I didn't. The only list member I
know of that actually managed to get one was John Wilson, and I think he
turned it into a PDP-11 (which was what I wanted to do).
I bought one from Circuit City and one from CompUSA. The one from Circuit
City was sent to my in-laws, and they use is as it was intended. The one
from CompUSA was the demo unit so it was very easy to
hack. I turned it
into a small Linux box.
