WoZ did recently have a major update. I’ll go see what I can see.

Being able to change the software brings so much value to my machine. I wrote JJP and they said it was to protect licenses. I wrote back that I can mod the hardware and put mustaches on all the licensed characters so the excuse to encrypt comes off as that JJP just encrypts just because because because because of the wonder things he does.

Lastly, not being able to change the software played heavily into NOT buy Willy Wonka. I love working on the machines and putting my hands all over them. Changing the software takes that journey so much further.

I’ll go get the new-ish WoZ updated code. I’ll go see what I can see and will report back this weekend.

Last year, I changed one file on my WoZ and it bricked the whole thing. I remember seeing a checksum error.

I had cloned my solid state drive in advanced. PLEASE be sure to clone your hard drive before doing anything drastic.

In these wonderful modern times of ours, a drive cloner is cheap and so is a solid state drive.

PLEASE get yourself a one touch drive cloner like this one: https://www.amazon.com/WAVLINK-Dual-Bay-Docking-Station-Functions/dp/B018FTE87S/
