Glad you have got one of these now.. I am good with pc hardware etc but not so good with things like this black box.. so will be great to see what you can find out about it.. yes i had noticed place for second sata port etc..

Nice one, keep us posted.. hope u can find a way to unlock this box then i can get mine working again

Ok i have worked it out.. I believe as security is set to max normal unlock command will not work.. but using HDAT2 you can unlock it by using the ERASE UNIT command and the password PACE FRANCE Master Security PWD2
So if you lock a different hard drive using the new black vision box or want to unlock the hard drive in it for use on pc then follow above.
Im not looking to do much more with this box at moment as bt due to cancel my connection with them soon... (had enough of bt!!!)
Ill just use the hdd in pc and keep an eye out on here to see if anyone has worked out if we can use jtag on this box.

UPDATE
I have also tried using hex to dec convert and i get
80 65 67 69 32 70 82 65 78 67 69 32 77 97 115 116 101 114 32 83 101 99 117 114 105 116 121 32 80 87 68 50
Entering this in using alt Gr putting 0 in front of 2 digit numbers ..this outputs the same as typing PACE FRANCE Master Security PWD2 and again i get a fail.. as both master and user passwords
I have also tried hdat2 ... so both hdat2 and mhdd fail.... really stuck now ...

Ok now i need some real help please... used mhdd and this is part of the output in 22.bin
,1üzå iµ$#Áóÿ/Û~™ud‰M®+øø m1‰½PACE FRANCE Master Security PWD2À 4 ôÄ 2
so from this i guess the lock code is PACE FRANCE Master Security PWD2
However when using mhdd to unlock drive using this code as is and in upper and lower case also taking out spaces etc, I keep getting fail....

Ok that works and i can see the drive, 2 pars and looks the same as old box.. just need to find out a way of extracting the lock code

I have tried those and no luck...

I got the box when signed up to new contract. its standard issue to new customers now.. ill try and get some photos up soon.
Now i have tried copyx with no luck as windows can not see drive. i have also found out the the drive lock is not the master password for the hard drive
It will also lock any drive you put in it and seems to go round in a loop with software update. however i have not yet tried putting an blank drive in yet as last
drive i put in it was not blank and it locked it and failed to boot.. you get the first cog then box goes into standby
I have since unlocked this drive with hdd unlock wizard at a cost $$$ ... im trying to work out what the lock password is that they put on the drive..

Hi, I have the new black box, i have taken it apart and the hdd in this one is a SATA drive, however when connecting it to pc i can not initalize drive .. i think they have locked the drive, if anyone has had any luck with this let me know
