I purchased the cool animal just a week ago, and my wife and I really love it. After finding Mock's excellent site and others, I've started investigating the software structure for hacking possibilities.

Now my questions: Though all sites I've visited say Rio Receiver uses an NFS root volume on the server, my copy doesn't look like that. Rather it appears to use a RAM file whose entire contents come from "receiver.arf" file (there's no "mercury.arf"). Below is the file's untar'ed list:

Can anybody verify this?
