"was" as in "not done it yet"?

You have me curious, as for the player firmware I've seen, the units don't 
quite support full SCSI CCS, and Linux barfs in trying to initially talk to 
them (and I've not found a way of working around this so that read/write 
commands can still be sent to a device that the kernel thinks is 'broken').

It's entirely possible that Philips released later firmware which was a bit 
more functional, however (in which case a dump of the relevant ROM would be 
most useful! :-)

I can't remember what Camileon did now - I'd have to dig through my email 
archives. I know Adrian P. dragged the data across via the RS232 interface 
which took *many* hours.

cheers
