I'm not as pessimistic about that. After failing this with the Iliad, the DR1000 hardware was specifically designed to support suspend to flash. Mackx, do you have any details that make you think they goofed that up a 2nd time? I've so far been willing to believe that they just hadn't gotten around to programming it yet.
The point is probably moot now, alas, as there's no one left now with the info to develop this mode for the DR1000
.
BTW: I think the extra connector is called the "extension connector" and was supposedly meant for accessoiries, but I've not heard of any so far. Possibly iRex used it for maintenance, such as reflashing bricked units.
