We can do it only if we have the laptop here, R52 as well as T43 uses PC8394T super IO to store the SVP.

For the moment, we work to implement a commercial solution that will be available soon.

Check us back in a week or two, when the hardware/software solution will be finished and available for everybody.

Anyway, T43 and R52 unlocking service will be commercial but the price set will be quite afordable.

If you wonder why is not free, well, I only can say that we've been through a lot of mess to get an unlocked board for tests.
Needless to say that almost everybody wants to get some money on this, we know some "good guys" that never give up trying Wink

Thanks Bob.

Now, PC8394T tools available. Check the "Download programing tools" thread.
Using the tools along with IBMpass will give you access to the T43 and R52 SVP.
