I didn't keep the attachment, the test just does

# flash_erase -j /dev/mtd2 0 0
# mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock2 /mnt/media
# dd if=/dev/mtdblock2 of=test.dat bs=512 count=1
# cp test.dat /mnt/media

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
