 yes, but have you tried mounting them?

 on mine, partition 1 (which i of course can't now access) was full of
what looked like crap: it wouldn't mount.  i suspected that this
partition contained "direct" data - a kernel, u-boot etc. which the
S3C6410 would read direct into memory and execute.

 adam's sent several requests (over the chinese new year) now for the
quotes firmware quotes and has pointed out that one of the machines is
now in an unusable state.

 people are now sort-of back to work, so we should get a response soon.
