You can buy hacked hardware, with warranties (search Altavista for "+dvd +region +code"). For Archie's ChemBook, which is what started the discussion, there is hardware assist; I presume there isn't any FreeBSD drivers for the thing though; it's be too much to ask to have someone in Germany spend $120 on V Communication's Inc.'s "Sourcer" ;-)...
