However, LaCie makes no mention of using GPLed software, nor do they offer any source code for download. Has anyone ever noticed this before (and, if so, what's the status on source)? You can download this firmware from http://www.lacie.com/download/drivers/SilverScreen.zip -- the file called romfs.bin is a plain romfs volume. I successfully mounted it using Knoppix and was able to browse the contents of the image. Please CC me directly, because I'm not subscribed to this list. I apologize if this was discovered before, but my archive searches found no reference. (if I had the source, I'd probably buy one of these things). --Michael L. Freeman
