It is a Set Top Box build by Allwell (http://www.allwell.tv, the type is 1030N.

This Box is oem-build by different distributors, so it´s sold as

- Mobilcom Surfstation
- Websurfer Pro
- Easynetbox

Here are some pictures:

I have a second one which I want to set up as Mp3-Box, so I needed the Patch.

Bye

Hi all,

I've got the some box, the same board and the same problem :-)

Is there a place where I can download the patched BIOS? If not, could someone please send it to me?

Final question: would I be allowed to make the patched BIOS available to a greater public?

Cheers
Phileas

You can find it at the "untested" link in my signature under the name "websurfer.zip". Feel free to post it on your site, but please credit Wim's.
