#476: Manufacturing data values are in the wrong order
-------------------------------+--------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  wmb at firmworks.com  |       Owner:  ted.juan
     Type:  defect             |      Status:  new     
 Priority:  normal             |   Milestone:  BTest-1b
Component:  hardware           |    Keywords:          
-------------------------------+--------------------------------------------
 The string values within the manufacturing data on the B1 machines are
 reversed, with the first character at the highest address.  The spec
 (http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Manufacturing_Data) says:

   Store text strings with the first character at the lowest address, null
 terminated.

 This should be corrected for the next build.  For the machines that have
 already been built, we will fix the manufacturing data by reversing the
 values, using an Open Firmware program that will be part of an OS update
 tool.
