it replaces the flash rom with jörg's code, and boots directly into rockbox, in about 5 seconds.
holding F1 while pressing on will load the original archos firmware. the only added bonus is the
boot time, but it's a significant improvment.

the risk of something bad happening is fairly low, and it's possible to fix with hardware mods,
but if you're really paranoid it might nor be worth it. nothing else is attached to it, all it
does is load rockbox directly.
