[net.micro.pc] A new protection scheme -- is this feasible?

References:

If software protection via PROMS (or via serialized CPUs) becomes
common, its success will be shortlived.  Reliance on this hardware
will make it feasible to develop and sell hardware that defeats
the schemes (such as CPUs that allow you to program the serial
number).
