Your time is more valuable in other efforts. This one (rewritting of the script that is executed after boot and before init, I guess) seems a task for them. |
If I can put the deal together it definitely won't involve any public disclosure except for "If you want to develop for the iLiad and want a self recovery ability, go to this URL with your VISA card in hand... because when it comes to disaster recovery, we don't accept American Express."
The thing I admire is they doggedly cling to the idea that somehow they're going to get a deal to have a DRM'd ebook format on the platform.
Here it is mid-November and still no big DRM announcement.
But yes, so long as the iLiad CPU had power this device would be capable of total replacement of all FLASH bits. It is similar in concept to those $80 USD clips used to unwedge
stolen used cell phones.
The software re-flash is a bit more than an init script hack. If my job depended on my getting it working I wouldn't do it the way that was described to me. But hey, my job doesn't depend on it: have fun storming the castle boys! (Miracle Max

My only issue is that if they got it done many Iliadian's would rest easier at night.
