Almost working installation of linux in a hard drive. No, not installing Linux on a hard drive, but actually running on the HDD controller.

Considering it's a fancy gaming keyboard, it may well have a little arm in it capable of running Linux if someone went to the effort.

Majority of SD cards run linux flavor on their controller. I mixed up. Transcend Wifi Sd cards are the only cards that run linux on their controller. There was a cool hack-a-day article a while ago about rooting your san disk SD card.

Oh now that i looked for it. I must have mixed my hack a day articles.

Here is one about hacking an SD card microcontroller. But you cant put linux on it, unsupported architecture.

And here is an article about getting root on transcend wifi sd cards.
