As we already know we can hot swap a cheapmod chip with a motherboard that has the propper socketed bios this has been proven to work.
ok what i thought was why cant you hot swap the eprom from the xbox to this board (either by taking the eprom off the motherboard or small wires connected to the pins of the eprom and pluged into the socket for the hot swap.
i know the socket is much bigger but from what i seen on the elvis programmer if you connect it to the further end away from the half circle marker and come 1 set of pins back it should be in the right place for the board to read it.
all that is needed is sombody with an otherwise dead mother board to see if they can get something out of the chip
maybe the software used to program the cheap mod bios can also be used to read the eprom and hey maybe wright something back to.
lol i tried to draw a pic with asci lets say it was sad so i got a pic from another threds pic.
