I seem to remember a posting along the lines of "this has got close enough 
that we're not going to give more details, because we don't want to annoy 
Amstrad, but anyone with enough clue might be able to take it from here".

I don't believe the actual steps needed were ever publicly posted (but I'd be 
happy to be pointed at a correction if I'm wrong).

Is that "specific value" generic, or device-specific?
