I found this same info in a couple of the logs on my machine. There's lots of neat stuff in the logs and startup files...

I added a MAX205 chip to th eserial port, then attached that to an old WYSE terminal i have, then i booted the iopener and thats what it sends to the serial port, I then tried flipping the DIP switches near the port in different combinations and booting, and it always outputs the same thing, I havent tried all combinations yet, only 2 or 3,
there are 16 possible combinations, I will try more latter. I want it to say "i-opener ready to recive new flash image at 9600" :) hehe that would be sweet

Well I doubt that they would flash the bios that way and if you are thinking of the sandisk you are talking about almost 5 hours for 16M at 9600 baud. Even if it is only have ful I doubt that they would spend 2.5 hours loading it via serial port. Heck even the bios would take over half and hour at 9600 baud, doubtful on an assembly line.

PS. Nice thought though

hmm...good point, well they have to do something that they would want easy access to on th eassembly line or repair
dept. ... think people think. or maybee it is something dumb like ram settings? did amyone ever finish tracing the switches?
very curious as to what they do...
