Ariza boxs (700/750/800) if you want to dust them off thanks to Ukronic there is now a way to convert the boxes with just the use of the serial cable, no jtag needed. Just follow his instructions.


Longtime coming, but here's something that ppl can use to convert their Ariza's to the 'Pariza' state.

Took some time and thought to do this, and probably isn't the 'cleanest' way of accomplishing this.. but it does work well enough for ppl to play with.

Load the Ukr_Ariza2Pariza bin with the Mingo loader, once the box reboots, 4 dashes will light up across the display and hang there for a few... then it will hang on last dash for a few more... then it will appear to be Knightriderish (but only 4 scrolls, then hang on last dash).. Box is done and can be rebooted freely.

Use Hyperterm to load in a fresh copy of the boot *FIRST THING*.. as some custom tailoring was required to get this file to take properly--but makes it a bit unstable (if a bin was to be loaded insted of a fresh Bootfile as the FIRST thing.. Part of the code that allows the box to come ON will be overwritten, and box will become a doorstop once power is removed or box rebooted.)

Just a note, that once the boot is good and solid in place.. Hyperterm is not 'needed' to load files...the 2700 style loader works and does the job just fine.
