Has anyone hacked the iBus?
 
Has anyone hacked the iBus in the mini? I would assume that like most systems, it is a fairly simple processor and bus architecture, possible Linux based. I would assume that by now, programs would exist to reset all the factory choices and control the HK amp from a laptop, or even palmtop.

I've heard of people atttempting it, but I haven't heard of anybody who was successful.

You might want to post this question over on Slashdot. I'm sure if they haven't there's at least one person over there considering it.
