First I would like to answer the "Rhetorical" question.
(thanks for the explanation of the world rhetorical, but it is a greek world...)
When you have an LPC Modchip and your Tsop upgraded,
you have 2 Modchips that canot react the one with the other.
This means that if you come to a wrong flash to the LPC mod,
you can't recover it with the Tsop,
or if you come with a wrong flash to the Tsop
you may damage your console for good.
The Tsop can react with only 29 wires modchips,
where the best one is Devil mod (512Kb)...
How you can program 2 bare SST chips, without a programmed one?
1. To be able to program X-elixis for the first time,
without having a preprogrammed modchip,
we are sending X-elixis Basic Plug-In preprogrammed with Cromwell Bios.
With this bios and OzXFlasher you may program 1 or 2 bare SST chips!
In other modchips that also includes Cromwell bios,
if you come to a wrong flash then you through your modchip on the garbage.
In X-elixis Dual modchip solution,
you always boot from the Basic Plug-In and you program the X-elixis Plug-In (bare),
after switching with the A/B Switch,
so if you come with a bad flash to the bare SST,
you always have the Basic Plug-In untouched, for unlimited tries till you succed!
Plus it is always offering you the extra way to flash both Plug-Ins,
with any other preprogrammed modchip, if you don't want to mess up with Linux...
2. To be able to program 2 bare SST with only your Xbox,
and without Cromwell bios preflashed, please search for 007 Hack.
Now, if I want to market my product,
I can do it it directly from the original Xbox support site with a banner,
cause X-elixis Programmer is 100% Legal product,
with a possible illegal use..!
