To be specific, I'm in need of the 'Manufacturer Code' and 'pcb config id' but complete vars are welcomed.

The only vars I currently have are qlob's which came from a B006 Kindle.

Do you happen to have any Kindle 3G UK devices? It would really help if more valid 'B00A' idme vars are known.

Thank you.
I think that the vars you need do not depend on being from a "UK Kindle".

Now that I was able to look them up on a B006, I think that the vars you requested should probably be safe for me to share, and safe for you to use:
Code:
Product:           Shasta
FSN:               B006*
MAC Address:       28EF*
Manufacturer Code: U9TCYI2TA6L0OJ41E325 
PCB ID:	           A004049B88SHR
The idme var terminology is a bit inconsistent. I think that the "PCB ID" reported in the diagnostic logs (where I got these values) is called "pcbsn" in u-boot and idme. The pcbsn idme var is used by some kindles to determine how to initialize DRAM during startup, so may be critical to booting some kindle models.
