If you send me the details then I can decide if it can be put on the site

I've seen this posted elsewhere. There's no problem in posting a description of how to locate the JTAG points here. Any links need to go in the Private FTA section and be not clickable.

I don't think I have a steady enough hand to grind a hole in the circuit board without making a mess

you need a dremal kit with a realy small blade, then cut a sqare and it just lift's out. nice a clean then....

the hardist part if soldering the wire to the points, coz all you got is a cupple of mill to play with..
