MSO2000 Application module hack

David Hess:
This form of DRM reminds me of how Sega implemented their DRM and the resulting lawsuit:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sega_v._Accolade

I think there was another video game console case where the copyright was an on raster graphics image stored in the ROM which was checked to make sure the cartridge was "official" but I was not able to find it and I believe it become irrelevant with the DMCA anyway.  The way I remember it, the court ruled that while the image was legitimately copyrighted, since it was needed to make the system operational, copying it was fair use.

It's simple data in an (e)eprom, not even particularly complex data either.  The hardest part of the hack is to make the eprom talk to the scope.

where is no hard part. I made that module without going to shop, some foam, eeprom from old TV, and sim holder from siemens c25. After that only simple programming is needed to load data to eeprom. Also if you have original app module, you simply can put second eeprom on top of original, and program it with new code. but you have to disconnect address pins, and set them manually, and i2c line will be shared between  two eeproms.

Oscilloscope does the reading automatically, if you have good contacts, and correct code, it works without a problem

Dear Tektronix,

Because of your legal goons' blatant misuse of Section 1201* of the DMCA to bully hobbyists and Hackaday, I will no longer purchase or recommend your test equipment to potential customers.

*Section 1201 most certainly does -not- apply to the material Hackaday discussed. cf. Lexmark v. Static Control Lexmark International, Inc. v. Static Control Components, Inc.

 :-+ That was the Lexmark lawsuit. Tek should be really ashamed of themselves.
