Very good question.

I have an SGI Indy, and they cleverly/foolishly use the RTC ram for the unique system ID, which just happens to be the ethernet MAC address. There are ways to manually write to it, so you could counterfeit any possible MAC address and really confuse the RIAA trackers :)

If the A4K can read from there, and set the clock, I imagine there is a way to write.
