: I had read somewhere that they were put in a supposed "B mode" or something like that. They were programmed with everything in it, but we just didn't have access. Wouldn't make sense to me, give anyone with a taste for hacking an oppertunity to change that over. However, I don't ask questions, I'm just the stupid consumer. Besides, how you doin bill. It's been a while. Remember me? : Your nimrod, : Mike Orr AKA "Twitch" (used to be monkeyboy) To activate anything other than semi, you have to switch out of ASTM mode, and they didn't put that capability in the boards that ship to the US. That's not to say the board couldn't be re-programmed with the software that has the other modes, just that the software with the other modes isn't there, so there's no way to unlock it. WDP uses a rolling encryption system, so I think the likelyhood of someone loading their own software is pretty slim (not impossible, but very very slim) and not worth the effort compared to building and programming your own board. Yep, I remember you. See you on the field, -Bill Mills
