Does not work due to the fact that the firmware uses the onboard PROM and is build with help of a binary only library ... even the firmware hackers do not know much what is in the library and on the PROM.
OS on closed binary on top of closed binary? Hope someone responsible does see an advantage in fixing it. Or is there some new FF-hardware in sight that may be better fitted for the job?
