so cornelious2 i finally got to test your unlock method on my replacement for the 6800...
and it was too simple, i took the 2 files and put them on the 1GB card
then I copied the SSPL to main memory and ran it, and I was shocked at how quickly it was done...
it was almost instantaneous !!!
I did not get stuck after unlock I was able to boot fine and it never touched a computer prior to unlocking...
then i took another card prepped with a custom ROM already on root and removed stock !!!
