[There were two key phrases:
1) this will void the warranty….
2) procedures were distributed __WITHOUT OFFICIAL APPROVAL__ (by CBM
personnel, the unsaid fact).
It has come to my attention that there is a sticker on A500s that if
removed, voids warranty. This means that besides the 1 Meg hack, adding
internal memeory also voids the warranty – For at least the first year.
CBM Engineers have said many times how to perform the 1 Meg hack. The
statement of lack of approval is IMHO, an indication of an internal power
struggle going on inside CBM.
Think about it, if CBM was to admit reality, who would be better qualified
to make the change? A CBM service center or some kid with a butcher knife
and a 300 watt soldering iron?
I tend to agree 33% of this is your guess #2 and 17% your guess #4 and 50%
big brother telling the world their vision of how we are going to behave.
