    I know you own the discs zappen but I can get into trouble if you post those images.

    They aren't technically "sellable" items..

    If you grep the 2mb file that you posted to dump all the html into files, theres a few interesting tidbits. So they ported (a somewhat sofisticated for the time) web browser to this thing? What in the world is all on this disc?

    Whats on it? Screenshots? At minimum you can configure the network through some sort of HTML interface.

    I think you guys just made some major progress.

    It's the GM Customer Interactive Product Information Center. It's for the 2003 models. There are several videos for each vehicle showing various features and sales blurbs. I can't see any way of accessing a menu (unless it's done with a keyboard. A PS/2 mouse is used to select the menu items. I couldn't get the keyboard to do anything. It did flash the lights on power-up. The menu probably only accepts mouse input.

    Let me charge the digital camera batteries, and I'll post a few screenshots.

    I got the fz devkit from the multimedia house, the one I released before is alpha so it might not have full support.

    Does the devkit include any CD/DVD building tools?

    Is the devkit a compiler or a multimedia editor?

    Hmmm... Just off of the 2mb chunk that you posted, I was able to dump the following:

    http://www.slowlyburning.net/misc/opera1.html
    http://www.slowlyburning.net/misc/opera2.html
    http://www.slowlyburning.net/misc/opera3.html
    http://www.slowlyburning.net/misc/opera4.html
    http://www.slowlyburning.net/misc/opera5.html
    http://www.slowlyburning.net/misc/opera6.html
    http://www.slowlyburning.net/misc/opera7.html

    Not blindingly interesting. However it looks like you can access/change "registry" settings straight from the browser. I wonder how much "hacking" could be done simply through HTML then reburning the disc.

    Are you talking about the standard 3DO Mac Nubus M2 kit or something different?

    My system doesn't have the hard drive in it, so it goes right into the software.

    The boot process loads up setup.m2, but it must exit immediately if a hard drive is not found..

    Just throwing this out here, but are you sure that each individual dipswitch corresponds to something? Maybe they're set in a group like the way old PC serial devices would be configured for a specific com port. Perhaps that was the way they chose specific settings for the different models at the factory?

    i think its a problem with loading the splited up images that are residing on the disc (opera 001... 002...003) maybe theres a problem with reading it from the dvd so he thinks that the 2nd image is missing ?

    I opened mine to check it out. It does have the hard drive. It must've had the system installed before. But, it doesn't boot from the hard drive.

    I have dipswitch 1, 2, and 3 off, and 4 on.

    I'll hook it up tonight, and attempt to determine where it's pulling data from.
