<+c4eva> ixtreme LT is coming along nicely, it has been a GREAT day! hang in there!
<+c4eva> ixtreme LT does not care about waves, as per orig fw

<+c4eva> LT will assume disk has correct stealth!
<LinkK> MS will be able to detect LT also
<+c4eva> linnk:no!
<+c4eva> behaviour of ixtreme is detectable on backups!
<+c4eva> xtreme wont help!
<+c4eva> i cant say any more for obvious reasons!

Does this mean that the stealth checks that the Ixtreme fw does are how MS detected the firmware? By removing that stealth check you're removing the one thing that Ixtreme does differently to original firmware.
This would mean the safety feature built into IX was the very thing that caused its downfall.
Would also explain the "lite" name if the stealth checks are removed. The responsibility for making sure your rip is good is down to the user.
