I've read all the messages up to page 28 and read how a terminal program on a PC can be connected to the RS232 port. And used to change the Model and Serial number, I shouldn't have any problems with doing that.

RS232? changing the rigol DS1052E to DS1102E using USB , the dummy guide
IT simply depends with what firmware you get the rigol. if it's the latest then you cannot hack it for the moment
RFman:
As I would have to assume that a newly purchased Rigol DS1052E would have the latest firmware, I guess I'll have to give up the thought of purchasing a Rigol to convert to 100MHz. :(
Is anyone looking at a Hack for the latest firmware. :)
Thanks for your help.

If you read the previous reply from Polossatik, you'll realise it doesn't matter when you get your Rigol. It depends on what firmware is on the kit you receive! If you want to check the version of firmware on your 1052E, follow the link in the previous post. It tells you how to check the version of firmware you've got!
I received a 1052E last week and it's at a firmware version: 00.02.04.00.01, HW version 57 (Patchable!).
So, I guess it depends on the "luck of the draw"! You could order it from a supplier that's got recent stock (thus, perhaps the latest hardware with the latest firmware) or they may have stock from God-knows-when, which may have older firmware versions.
Bottom line is, before you order/receive one, you've no way of knowing what firmware version you're likely to receive!
If you read the thread linked to in the previous post to the end, you may get the feeling that it's just a matter of time before someone finds a hack for the latest firmware version (just speculating ;)). (Still a good machine for the money even without the hack, IMHO).
Regards,
Martin.

i'm looking forward people asking the oldest stock from seller, a rare occasion ;)
Russel:
I received a new DS1052E last Friday. Firmware version 00.02.05 SP2. Hardware version 58. I'm no expert with an oscilloscope, but I'm keeping my eye out for firmware bugs to report to Rigol and keeping my eye out for new hack developments.
