You can download the files from http://www.zipitwireless.net/~zippy/ [^] as well, I'm storing them for backup. I hope this helps the decryption/decompression efforts. ~Jesse (coderxtreme) ------------------------------------------------ HTTP Stream between Zipit and AP listed below ------------------------------------------------ Date: Sat, 25 Dec 2004 00:51:20 GMT Server: Apache/2.0.52 (Unix) Content-Length: 96 Keep-Alive: timeout=15, max=100 Connection: Keep-Alive Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 GET /~zippy/90300688.txt HTTP/1.1 Accept: / Connection: Keep-Alive Host: www.zipitwireless.net:80 Range: bytes=0-95 HTTP/1.1 206 Partial Content Date: Sat, 25 Dec 2004 00:51:20 GMT Server: Apache/2.0.52 (Unix) Content-Length: 96 Content-Range: bytes 0-95/96 Keep-Alive: timeout=15, max=99 Connection: Keep-Alive Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 1.08 http://www.zipitwireless.net/~zippy/bootrom.t3.1.08.bin [^] AB2178653406C18908E20FA40E15B391 HEAD /~zippy/90300688.txt HTTP/1.1 Accept: / Connection: Close Host: www.zipitwireless.net:80 HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Sat, 25 Dec 2004 00:51:21 GMT Server: Apache/2.0.52 (Unix) Content-Length: 96 Connection: close Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

(0000003) prpplague 01-14-05 13:11	The 2MB ROM image contains a bootloader, updatable variables and GZIP files for both the kernel image and the ramdisk fs image kernel.gz - GZIPed kernel image (expands to over 1MB) ramdisk.gz - GZIPed ramdisk image (expands to over 4MB) To examine the files on the ramdisk you need a Linux box. Un-gzip the ramdisk.gz file and mount it. Something like: cp ??? /tmp/ramdisk.gz gzip -d /tmp/ramdisk.gz mkdir /mnt/ramdisk mount /tmp/ramdisk /mnt/ramdisk -o loop
