That appending a gzip file to another gzip file is correct, because it is "standard" to make a big gzip by appending multiple smaller gzips. I did that back in the day on a few occasions. So yes, the tail-end gzip should overwrite files on earlier prepended gzips...

That Oasis "teardown" thread had pics that showed LOTS of exposed pads. I wonder if there are serial and bootmode (and perhaps JTAG) pins in that pin grid array.

A test jig should also work for serial port access on all the kindles that have bare pads with no connector. What license do you suggest we use for an "open hardware" test jig design (and perhaps 3D printer STL files)?
