Correct..
Because despite may appeals, across many boards - no-one came forward to help.
*sigh*

 

I'm happy to help out if there is anything I can do remotely. I'm a bit disappointed that nobody in the Seattle area stepped forward.

 

What do you need done Otaku?

 

I have what I think is a fully rebuilt image.. I need access to a unit to make sure it all works properly.. it'll involve a few hard-drive removals... I'd also like to try replacing the drive with a couple of different models ( one is a solid-state - expensive at the moment, but the prices are dropping and it seems to be the way to go in future ).
Again - access to a unit in either Belfast , N.Ireland or Seattle would be perfect..

Man, if I were in your area I would do it in a heart beat. Someone help Otaku out in his area so we can get this going.

 

+1.
May be come down to SoCal?

 

maybe cordinate a contract to send your unit to Otaku using fax stating you are sending your unit to be serviced by Otaku and will be returned in proper working order.

just a thought.... I dont have one though.

 

Nah. Bad idea!
Too many possibilities for things to go wrong. It needs to be done right there to trouble shoot/test/etc.

 

Otaku come on down to Dallas. I think we can take care of you here

 

Otaku, can I downgrade to 30.94 from 30.97 so I can use your update. How do I do that and what does it take away from what I currently have?

 

Heh - the reason I'm looking for people in Belfast , N.I. or Seattle is cause I'm going to be there.. Given that the company I work for is terminating its office in Ireland, I expect to be out of work in a few months .. I don't have the money for non-essential travle, I'm afraid.. So: Guys - If you know anyone in either of those two places, do whatever it takes to get me access to a unit and we can progress.. If you don't and you're members on other Mitsu style boards, post requests there ( or if I already have one active, add your support ).. I'm getting tired of asking .. :/

Any updates?

 

+1 for the 30.97

more than happy to pay for the hack as long as it doesn't require the removal of the hdd.

thanks!

 

oooootttttaaaaakkkkkkkkkuuuuuu! weeeee neeeedddd youuuuuuu!

 

I'm kinda new here, but has anyone suggested the idea of e-conferencing with Otaku to do the testing with the current build?

Example:
Coordinate what would be needed in order to do the tests on the MMCS
(I'm thinking someone who is savy with HDD removal, has the adapter to connect HDD to laptop, and a fairly decent computer).

Have Otaku dictate what hardware/software would be needed for him to adjust the program on the fly.

Then utilize some remote assistance program where Otaku could remotely program the HDD from the comfort of his own home(such as Crossloop) and an instant messenger for communication (AIM Express maybe?).

Theoretically, the volunteer would only have to remove the hard drive, connect it to their computer, and let Otaku do his thing, and reconnect the HDD to MMCS.

Test that build for functionality, if it works great, if not, rinse and repeat.

It might seem a bit of a stretch, but I'm just as anxious to see this happen as anyone else.

Just a suggestion, and I hope you'll be gentle on a noob's first post.

All the best,
