We are having the same problem here. is everyone getting this error? We dumped the bios after we got the error and it is the same size as the xtender file. But the chip didn't work.

Thanks

I didn't get that error with the same chip.

How did you get to a DOS prompt? Did you shutdown to DOS, hit f8 and select command prompt only or did you use a boot disk.

The reason Im asking is because I seen a Bios boot disk at bootdisk.com Im thinking that that might help. I'll try that tonight and let you know how that goes tomorrow.

Code Sample

'uniflash -e A:2Mbit.bin'

...hmmm I tried everything to get the forward slash after a: to show up but for some reason this board doesn't support forward slash.

i programmed a 4mbit chip with the second half of the xtender1.1 and it worked fine but when it came it verifying it failed.
this could be because my mobo can only read 2mbit because the original was 2mbit.
anyhow it worked

is there a way of checking that the bios flashed ok with out soldering it in the xbox and checking it?

Solder a chip socket instead so you can easily remove the chip if it doesn't work.

Well the problem turned out to be something with the motherboard we were using. I used a different computer, same chip, same bin and it worked peffectly. We soldered the chip last night and it started right up. Flashing 4 more chips tonight.
