Sad to say, I don't have the skills to step up and maintain it myself. Though I'll be happy to participate in the effort as a willing (nay, eager) tester of new versions. I've got a second sheevaplug sitting on a shelf that somehow bricked itself about 5-7 years ago. I'd love to try to resurrect it, if somebody can point me to instructions for re-flashing the firmware. If I can get it running, it will be perfect for use as a testing machine. Thanks! Rick
