Australian modders rejoice!
Check out aussiechip.com.au for the "Aussie Chip Dual Mod"
I recently ordered one of these over the X2 lite and Matrix chips. Initially I thought I was taking a bit of a calculated risk, as I hadnt really heard much about this chip (it certainly didnt have any internation exposure).
The chip arrived 2 days ago, I finally decided to whack it in the other night. Now I dont consider myself a "guru" by any means, but I didnt have any dramas installing the pin header and D0. I rigged the 3-way single switch to the rear of my box after drilling a neat hole. The BIOS it boots from is determined by the switch position. Up is BIOS A, middle is normal boot, down is BIOS B.
Worked a treat from the word go, the beauty is that for the excessively paranoid (moi!), one never has to worry about getting stuck with a dodgy flash. Its comes packaged with 2 CD's of software including OzXFlash V1.2
All I can say is that I love this mod chip - its a bit of a shame they dont ship internationally, coz Im sure many others would see it the same way. If youre Australian, or lucky enough to get hold of one, I highly recommend it at $80AUD.......
FYI - I have a ver 1.1 X-Box, and the bulgey Phillips DVD-ROM doesnt impede it.....
