I noticed that one vendor had the following note in their sale posting 
on Ebay.

** Please note
1) The card will be preconfigured for 8 gb storage only.
2) You will not be able to change the firmware as a little modifications 
have been done in PCB.

Any idea which vendor to buy from to get an "open" part, how to preserve 
the firmware / settings on what you get if you wish to modify it as an 
open product?  The above is pretty nasty for the vendor of an  open 
product, and I think I'll be buying from someone else.
