15-2142 has an EEPROM

[The Robman]

I finally got around to picking up one of the new 4-in-1 "Family Favorites" remotes from Radio Shack, model # 15-2142, and much to my surprise when I opened it up I discovered that it has an EEPROM on board, which means we can hack it using JP1 (assuming the chip is an S3C8).

There's no 6-pin and there isn't an opening for one in the battery compartment, so you'll either need to go with the Stereo Interface or cut a hole in the casing (which is what I'll probably do).

Also something that might be of interest to some folk here, the MCU isn't hidden under a glob, it's a surface mount chip.

The 15-2142 is on sale for $9.99, I have my father trying it out, I'm always trying to replace his Sony vl700. Its so rickety.
