How does it send ground to disable the onboard bios?

I think the picture needs to be corrected here.... it is affecting the posts. Someone moderate that post.

Anyways, on top of that...I think the picture is wrong. Look how you draw your lines, , ok, now explain why the screw hole is over the board? It does not line up with the screw location.

It appears that the chip would be a better fit, over screw hole and all points if flipped, but then would have problem attaching the header for flashing.. I would wait till the installation guide is released before making further assumptions.

I personally dont like posting something that is wrong, but i have done it before.

Anyways... that is my 2cents... I may be wrong, but I think the big question is still....why doesnt the screw location line up??? Unless they have found another point to ground out the BIOS on the opposite side of the connector...

So far I like what I see.....Potential buyer here....

this is MY opinion, its not an OFFICIAL picture, and its correct, im just comparing the POINTS to the MOBO and XECUTER. Nothing else, so we can have an idea of how this goes. And i disabled the pic, ill fix the slow-up problem later.

as i said before
id like a solder chip with the same PBC layout as the x-cuter 1.1
that looks very nice and neat to solder on!!!

but have the finish of the matrix chip, where can flash the bois and stuff easily.

i hope the x-cute team make such a chip VERY soon cause this is just a copy cat of the xcuter design. and xcuter deserve sales more then xodus does.

I think it is intresting that it has 2 switches on the chip.... = BIOS switch?

Okay if that is a bios switch that is a poor design. Who the hell wants to take apart the Xbox to flip a damn switch. As far as the pins being nails that dig in that is in correct. They are springloaded pins. Similar to those on a universal jtag. Easybuy sells the universal jtag so if you want a better look at the pins just look at that. I see where the disable goes but it is such a small solder point...you will have to be very precise with your placement.

I think I figured it out....
1 switch is to turn the mod on/off, the other one to flash the chip...
