Hacking DIGICARD SRC2 server...

[mister_boffo@hotmail.com (Mr. Boffo)]

Damn, another hurdle for hacking my old Digicard system, which is
sitting in my bedroom serving to my IIgs. The drive image does not
work when raw-copied to another drive of a different size.

So anyway I am currently in the process of trying to reverse-engineer
the darn thing. All I want is to store games on it, but I feel it'd be
prudent to back up the original hard drive data and do the gaming on a
second hard drive, but alas the Digicard won't boot off the second
drive, which was created by using Ghost to raw-copy the original
drive. The second drive IS a bigger than the original, so that may be
the problem, though I don't see why the Digicard should care, since
the logical partition data is still all the same.

So anyway I have so far hacked the password, doing some nice sector
probing with Norton Disk Editor. If you're interested, the password
table on a Digicard drive is in sector 352 and it is all plaintext --
just look for the word SYSTEM and it'll be followed a few bytes later
by the password. I have also found a way to gain access to the hidden
/MANDRAKE system directory, which the Digicard normally fiercely hides
from everybody..
