→Viper
According to [https://hackmii.com/2009/06/ios-history-build-process/ HackMii], older IOSes have “Viper” in their build tags. Bushing seems to think Viper means Starlet, but I think it might actually mean IOS, since boot2 and MIOS are also considered IOSes internally, but have no signs or Viper.

::I'm only guessing as much as the rest, but since the build tag says 'fw.RVL.12.0.6.viper.0611041415' etc etc , i also assume viper is the starlet as that build tag says firmware revolution 12.0.6 (viper) (and i assumed it was build on 6/11/2004 @ 14:15 ). however, the question is indeed if viper here means 'firmware for the viper cpu' or 'firmware for the viper subsystem'. my money is on viper being the cpu, but it was probably renamed afterwards, as later versions have dropped the whole 'revolution' bit all together. maybe [[User:Pokechu22|Pokechu22]] knows something?
