Hello. I am new on the iOpener scene and I don't really know all that much about it although I have been reading up on lots of info as of late. Anyways, I was thinking of buying a V1 iOpener (unhacked) with a 2 GB hdd (laptop size, not installed) for 140 bux. First of all, does this sound like an alright deal? In terms of modding, the ide cable making and connecting/mounting the 2.5 inch hdd shouldn't be a problem because I am used to working with electronics/computers, but do I need to make any modifications to the bios in order to have it boot from the hdd? IE: to get it working with win98 SE, I will need a hard drive, an IDE cable, perhaps a heatsink/fan, anything else? If I do need a new bios, where can I get one and for how much, and is there a way to flash the bios if needed? Thanks for all the help guys, I am hoping this will be a nice project for the car :)
