Naah, you lamers only followed after me! ;-)

Plus, mine is addititionally pimped with 8MB, double-sized 512 KB flash
(rombox forever!), serial mod, uart boot selectable via tiny hidden switch,
only 60GB HD (replacement overdue), and nice music on it. Perhaps I forgot
some other stuff.

John, about the non-flashable: the only chance is to replace the chip.
Either you somehow program the chip before soldering it in, or you need one
with boot ROM and serial+uart boot mod to program it first time in system.
