Sony Products That Run Embedded Linux 12
tbirdsaw writes "I was browsing for information on how to run Linux on the PS2 without a Linux Kit (they've stopped selling them in the U.S., AFAIK). While searching, I stumbled across Sony's Open Source Code website. They have quite a few products that run an embedded linux system, including some professional video switchers (MVS8000?) and at least several of their relatively new XDCAM disc-based video format decks. Might make for some hardware/firmware hacking in the near future?"

If you're willing to spend that amount of money on a device then you're going to want to make sure it works exactly like it says on the box. The number of people willing to start fiddling with the internals and hack it is going to be extremely limited.

Due to some XML hacks you can now read any text on the device, such as project gutenburg books.
