I was sure that I could just connect via ethernet and install the Firmware app and then install the Broadcom firmware from there. But no, Firmware can not see the Broadcom chip!

But thankfully I found a guide on cyberciti.biz... Yeah, that sounds sketchy, but it worked! But it was a bit long, and Firmware still doesn't see the chip even now! So this is not ideal. Why is it so hard to install?

Recently I've been working with analog magnetic sensors for reading keyboard position, velocity and aftertouch.

Wrote a quick FM-synthesis engine for some sweet 1980s synth bells. Then took the prototype keyboard for a test drive on one of them free jam-tracks. : }
