Is the Lock in hardware or software? My thought is that it was simply a software lock.What about going to a custom OS on the PCM, or reflashing the standard OS? Doesn't that rewrite enough to remove the lock?

He means is you change the key of the pcm to something other than the original, "making the seed not match its proper algorithm", then the software you are using to make the change to your computer would not be able to have access to the pcm to upload the bootloader into it, to run its custom code. There are plenty of things you can do to lock the pcm, from hardware minipulation/ Os code on the chip, Changing to a different algorithm, changing the hard written key ect..
