An on-going process to hack the BIOS/firmware to remove the genuine battery check on newer ThinkPads. (via Hacker News: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11041210)

Fascinating, to say the least.
In my working days I could program in Assembler with the best, but this goes well beyond me...
Looking forward to the next chapter!

The EC is probably responsible also for the keyboard layout, so if this is done, it should open the road to using the classic keyboard with the .30 series.
