Oh, you mean you didn't want to know that the internal i.ROM code can boot from an external hard disk drive?
Say what?
You don't have a hard disk drive in your Kindle? Why not?
There are SSD "hard disk" drives on a mini-PCIe card (the card/connector holding the 3G modem/radio) dating back to at least the EeePC 701 (probably before that).
I never had a chance to drag out the test equipment to see if the hard disk bus was wired to that connector (the PCIe lines) - a mini-PCIe card is not **required** to have the PCIe lines connected.
And the Kindle may only have the serial and USB lines on the connector connected to the SoC chip.
I just never had a RoundToIt that it would take to ID what connector lines are enabled on my K3.
