*Maybe* you can cut the "i'm sorry, i'll never do it again"-deal which gives you a free first reflash.

Or they've got a reflash option in place they didn't tell us about.

Or you open your iliad and search for the serial console. There are some pointers that there is one inside.
The problem with opening the Iliad is that I void my warranty, but if Irex reflashes the device the warranty stays intact (as far as I know).

Maybe they will do a free reflash, because I was in the process of porting frotz (an Interactive Fiction Interpreter) and had the console version already running. (IRex seems to support users developing their own applications for the Iliad). Just to speed up the development process I decided to edit er_registry.txt.

I'll give them a call tomorrow.
