HI,
you can convert an Aston vers.1.04 to cryptoworks and update it to 1.05 for more stable seca2. I also got some Astons 1.03 and 1.05 that have been converted to "funny access", they accept now irdeto 1, 2, and 6-1 files for irdeto. They have been opened, so something has been done with the hardware inside, no idea what, but they where quite cheap here at 50euros. Whatever you do,you will need a card after,it will not emulate like a MR.
sunny greetings
