Sniffing the Rigol's internal I2C bus
NikWing:
cybernet: what are you trying to achieve? unlocking the A-versions or running an edited firmware or something else? :)

This was my point exactly. I agree with you 100% and we need to carefully watch what we're doing as a community if we're to remain on the good side of the companies whose products we are modifying if we wish to remain outside their sphere of awareness.
The MAME and MESS projects (as crude examples) do an excellent job of this, mainly by not disassembling or reversing ANYTHING released in the previous 5 years. I'm not saying that we should follow this pattern exactly, but there should be a defined no-man's land in terms of reversing, if we care about avoiding negative attention from the hardware vendors we are "blessing" with our hacking efforts. (As an aside, I think the MAME & MESS folks should develop for FPGAs rather than software alone, if they truly want to document the hardware of those old systems. Those of you familiar with this software will know what I mean.)
There are only a few in this thread who do the core contribution to & development of these hacks, and many assists who make things like the precompiled executables and the web pages, and provide the leaps in ease of use. If the few important folks decide that biting the hand that feeds us is a bad course of action, then they should communicate that and we should all work together and silently cooperate with Rigol by leaving their latest lines alone.

Bottom line: is the DS2072A hackable to 300 MHz with all options or not?
I don't mind running a script or compiling a Linux program.
Still it would convince me to buy the unit.
The old unit DS2072 is still available, but I guess it is wise to buy the newer unit from a support perspective, or is there no concern here?
How long does it typically take to come up with a new hack? =)
I need to buy my scope latest next week :)

Well, it depends on if they decide to change the encryption algorithm or not.
