Could be a fun student exercise.
probably not. I would guess that they use an encrypted tag. I know that they did on the HD3500 cartridges. Breaking the encryption proved to be non-trivial. I would imagine they did something similar here since they have the tech worked out elsewhere previously. Unlike the HD3500 there are open source alternatives for the controller hardware for the Cube. Instead of trying to crack the encryption your are probably better off just switching the controller board out for a Ramps 1.4, Rambo, smoothie board, CRamps etc.
