Dude, it's on the hard drive itself.
If you power down, whip the little hard drive out of it's hidey hole on the
left hand side, it has a blue tab where you can (gently) yank that sucker
out. The Values you are looking for are on the actual drive.
If you get it working with video & sound, could you let me know, I've been
wanting to do this but with out time/ energy.
