<p>Awarru: /* Adding image of HDD Controller Board */</p> <hr /> <div><br /> == Hard Drive Reprogramming ==<br /> For this project, we are taking the controller board from standard hard disk drives and repurposing them as RAM. Each controller board typically has 32-64 MB of cache, used when transferring data from the disks to the computer. We are looking to repurpose that cache memory as RAM aaccessible directly by the operating system. <br /> <br /> '''Current Status'''<br /> Currently we are following a similar project undertaken on [http://spritesmods.com/?art=hddhack&amp;page=1 sprites mods]. We have identified the JTAG pins on the controller board, we now need to solder these wires to the JTAG debugger for manual reprogramming. Updates to come soon.<br /> <br /> [[Image:HDDControllerBoard.jpg|thumb|HDD Controller Board]]</div>
