Looks like I have the same numbers as jojogrosso above, with the exception of his first pic that shows the "Component Version". How do I get to that screen? I'm talking about the first pic in his post with the white background that shows Platform, GPS, HDD info etc...
Refer to the .pdf I posted earlier in this thread...
Here's what I have:
Opening splash screen:
1984-2008
Rel. 02/2008
Service Info Screen:
version 03.0000
cddb 08-01-0010 (only because I updated to this last night)
Hidden Component Vers Screen:
platform 3.000100
gps 1.200000
hdd 3.100200
Look good???
BTW - Thanks for the .pdf instructions bridge4d

Looks great to me.
Any chance that you're going to be the hero that shares? 
Looks good to me also.
I got the z3 drive as well, not sure if its a mock up or not. I already made a .tib of it, I will go verify it against the info that everyone is posting here.
If its a real image, I got no problem getting to it hyperite for distro.
Let me go replace my drive with this one and give it a test.

Hurry up, lol.
Would you guys recomend this? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 2759.l1259
no that ebay stuff is fake
no that ebay stuff is fake
What do you mean by fake? Is this a scam? Is there no such thing out there yet? Please help. So what do you guys suggest I do coz I would love to have the z3 update. Thanks.
I thought it was a toss up? I still haven't been able to go outside and test my drive out, but I thought "openendstraight" had verified that his ebay acquired update was legitimate? but others have found to be fake, causing most of us to just NOT risk it.
I understand we shouldn't be gambling on images from ebay. I got mine from a "acquaintance" who works at a shop *who claims* he got into a floor model and then blessed it for the 2 wire with the files, I hope he's not bs'ing me, AND he wouldn't give it to me, he made me pay $50.00 for it, so Im guessing that with that said, knowing he took money from me, he might be for real. (If I was sure, I wouldn't be claiming I need to test it), we all know those 28 yr olds who never stopped smoking weed, and well... I wont go there 
... I wish I would have been able to catch him at the shop where I could see if he really had access to a z3, as I understand they are not all over the place yet (thus all of us digging for images)...
I got a lunch break in 3 hours, will be able to come back for sure and let you all know... (fingers crossed).

http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZfran37623

Think I have the real deal guys ... Anything else i should be looking for?
Anything else i should be looking for to make sure it is legit?

Looks legit enough. Go ahead and buy one and let us know. Thanks. 
Just stopped the acronis creation (it was TAKING LONGER than I thought, I figured it would be DONE). Anyways, no sense making it if its a fake.
here's what I got after the updates.
Map date from boot screen: 02/2008
Version: 3.0
Device # didnt write down.
CDDB- -8-01-0010
------------
Platform Version: 3.000100
GPS Version : 1.200000
HDD Application V: 3.10020
I'm starting the acronis back up. Unfortunantly, I only have the USB to 2.5" ide convertor at work. I have the 2.5" to IDE 40 pin and power at home, if its not done before I leave home, I'll just leave it running and have it avail in the morning. I havent got a PM from a Op anyways, but I think I have what you want, and Im on my way to getting it to you right now. I think I have a Idea, I can load the drive in my laptop, boot the acronis, and then image from there to a SATA external disk (much faster than ide). Will give that a try as well,

Here's a question I forgot to ask about the z3. Can we now have more than 400 or is it 500 song for one genre? I hate the fact that we can get a bigger partition for mp3's and still be restricted with that. Hopefully the "favorites" can have more than 100 songs too.

So it seems to be working right?
Its working, I think the only cloudy issue was did I get a bunk image or not. Initial screens seem to lead one to believe that I didnt.
I am pulling it out, to start the image pull from it again. I didnt want to waste anyone's time while I wasnt sure what I had.
Now I can only hope that the new drive had the lock feature disabled. I didnt think about it, and I DIDNT explicitly un-set it, its as the drive came from outpost (lets HOPE). shit. shit. shit.

What did you buy and who did you buy it from?
Walking outside to pull it now, putting the old z2 drive in, and will start grabbing the image for you all.
