The announcement is in another thread, so to save the author any "duplicate posting" negative karma:
see: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...6&postcount=37

We have the files to cover the PW-2, PW-3, KT2, and KV.

So far, only the PW-2 has been successfully tested and the tests on the KV failed -
but that KV wasn't in very good shape at the time so it needs to be retested by someone else.

The KT2 and PW-3 files have not (yet) been tested.

NOTE to people interested in testing:

The process outputs messages on the serial port that we **MUST** be able to capture;
(The current PW-2 test failed to capture the information we needed, so it needs to be repeated by someone else.)

That means the tester needs one of the above devices with a serial port connection installed and the ability to capture messages across device restarts (which means Linux, since Windows drops the serial port connection across Kindle restarts).
