--- End quote ---
38K4 baud on a pin on the unused FFC connector - I've not had time yet to figure out all the pins, but I2C, CPU reset and power button are on there.
mikeselectricstuff:
Pins I know so far - all I've done so far is test for input/output using pullup/pulldown resistor
 4 & 6 look good candidates for serial in.
Logic levels are 3.3v
Starting from end nearest to the unpopulated FFC connector
1 On/Off switch (to ground)
2 Power - Vbattery during run and charge - possibly via a FET switch as I didn't see continuity to bat terminal
3 Output
4 Input
5 Serial TXD 38K4
6 Input
7 0V
8 /Reset
9  Output
10 Input
11 Output
12 Input
13 Input
14 I2C SDA
15 I2C SCL
16 0V

Someone emailed me last week with info on hacking the i series but was very wary of releasing - apparently there is a power-up key combination that gets you into a config screen, from which you can enable networking and do stuff like changing the resolution of i3 to i7, disabling the text overlay and reducing display noise - don't have it to hand ATM but I think it was something like holding play+down key at startup.
BravoV:
Damn, this is getting intense, sub'd, thanks Mike !  :-+
Pinkus:
Edit: wrote I4 accidentely - I now corrected it to I3.

OHHHHH - if hacking an I3->I7 would be possible, I would purchase a I3 right away.
I doubt that hacking could be so unbelievable easy but  if Mike confirms during the weekend that there is a keyboard combination for enhancing resolution to 140x140 I am going to order one on monday.

The decision would be the same for me as with the Rigol product: only because of the available hacks I purchased DS2072 & DSA815-TG & DG4062: I am willing to spend some money for decent functionality but price/functionality- relation has to be a really good one.
