I finally cracked and upgraded my spare with V3 alpha 8 (about time really).
Since is was empty and still on default V1, all initial music loads are going well.

The real question is, how do I get Hijack on there. I am assuming that the prebuilt kernels are all V2 rather than V3 and I cannot seem to find a prebuilt V3.

It took me nearly an hour to remember that I needed to use the serial cable to upgrade the player
Any non-condesending help will be much appreciated. Actually even condesending help will be taken as well.....

The kernels work fine for v2 and v3 after a certain number (I forget which, but any recent one will do.)

EDIT: looks like somewhere around v310, he added support for the new v3 directory structure.

Easiest way to get the kernel on there would either be Tony's Logo Editor (which has a kernel upgrade utility built in) or JEmplode (also has a kernel flash utility.)

Mark's hijack kernel's work with any version of the empeg software. You don't need a special version, just grab the latest and greatest prebuilt off his site.
