I have disassembled various versions of the GI-Buster and have noticed how cleverly the I.D. number is concealed in RAM. However, (undocumented) SETUP 9 causes the U7 ID number and the U20 ID number (the auto-update ID) to be displayed. Also, some versions of this software display the auto-update ID number with SETUP 1. To conceal the ID number in SETUP 9, and, in SETUP 1 for those versions that have the ID number implemented in SETUP 1, apply the following patches: ----------------------------------------------------------- EPROM relative old new comment 2BF0 65 EB Upon extracting ID at RAM loc 2BF1 90 B0 6590, display ROM area instead ------------------------------------------------------------ The above patch will cause FF's to be displayed in SETUP 9 and SETUP 1 (if implemented). To display the ID of your choice, just stash the ID to be displayed forward starting at location 2BB0. For example, to display ID # 01020304, make the following changes to GI-BUST0.run or GI-BUST8.run: --------------------------------------------------------------- EPROM relative old new comment 2BB0 FF 01 Cause ID number of 01020304 2BB1 FF 02 to be displayed by SETUP 9 2BB2 FF 03 (and SETUP 1 for other versions) 2BB3 FF 04 in the GI-Buster. --------------------------------------------------------------- The above patches make the GI-Buster more useable as a clone device (ID not easily determined by user or any other asshole that tries to figure out auto-update ID).
