How good are you at un-soldering surface mounted devices. The tsop-40 package only has ~0.020" spacing between leads. Not much room for error.

Did you loacte the clock chip? Anap use to store unit drive config, network settings and admin password in the clock chip.

I wonder if the pic chip has the signature ID for the snap.
This has been my concern throughout this David. I keep feeling like we got part of the OS or drivers or BIOS or.... Loaded in some hidden place we have not thought of, on on a flash chip we did not identify.


Okay, so we have a flash chip (that we are hoping is good and can be unsoldered) and we have an EPROM reader/programmer available to read this chip. So as someone else asked, do we have a programmer to read and edit the code once we have it? I would havr to go back through the messages, but it seems like we did have somebody say they were able to do this type stuff.

Does this experimental 4100 board work? Are we going to be able to test the new code on that board or are we going to need a test subject?
