The Xeno-360, in my opinion.  I have fiddled with the NME V1.2 for a while now, sometimes it's worked, sometimes it hasn't, but today I installed a Xeno-360 on a Hitachi 59 drive, and it works FLAWLESSLY!  I burned my backups exactly like the team-underdog instructions say to, and everything works perfect!  I also adjusted the pot down to 3.09, used an IDE cable for wires, and a 15 watt soldering iron.

Well I just want to thank a lot of you for providing continuous support every day, and I will continue to do so myself.

Shoulda gone with an NME1.1 on that Hitachi.

I think its all dependent on what drive you have

Hitachi <78FK = NME 1.1
Hitachi 78FK = Xeno360
Samsung MS25/28 = NME 1.1 (or 1.2 with fix)


If the Xeno had autodetect (even with a reboot ala NME1.2) it'd be the best... but I guess they couldn't figure out that part of NMEs code? And had to go with the manual activation of chip...

Yea, I guess, but I dont mind having to use the eject function, and plus the Xeno chip itself is of higher quality because it is made from Actel (dont know what the NME is though, but I heard it was of lesser quality).

Anyway, do you think there was maybe a patent on the NME chip?  Like maybe its not that they (xeno) couldnt figure out the code for the auto detect function, but instead would have been a patent infringement if they would have used it?
