I got it from the front page of x-s

Its black and packed with stuff! (does it change colour) ? hehe

It looks great and has 3 ways of installation

Pin header
LPC points solder (directly to the board)
Matrix no solder addon

And this software control... if i understand correctly, the user can change modes from the dashboard? also controll A15 and D0 for Tsop flashing...

here are the pics...

what is the A15, D0 stuff?

I mean I flash tsop's and know what the D0 is.. don't quite understand what the A15 is ?
and basically a wire going from those points on chip to board ??

Yay, it's real!

I hope it sits firmly on the matrix, and it actually works!

I'm replacing my matrix with this chip. I already have it pre-ordered.

i admit the pics are impressive, and yes they have it all there

i am gonna get one of these and flash my tsop back to an MS bios (long story here)
and use it as a stand alone mod

I am really curious to find out how the Software Control will work.
I know it must be in the dash somewhere like a menu or a config file
it all sounds sweet

I guess my question is now: how long will it take for apps to be developed for the chameleon? Or do you think that team xodus already has the programs for evox?

How would you go about switching between bios' using the chameleon? Will we use software or external switches?

Argh, i wish there were more details.

Very interesting... looks like we might just see this thing by Mid-April as promosed by EB2K.

oh so it will be sort of like x-ecuter v1.1 like the soldering part, i wonder why team x-ecuter didn't use that as an adapter.

Well, I went ahead and ordered one off Easybuy2000 for $25+$5.50 shipping. I'll post results when I get it, whenever that might be.

So I will be ablet o just put this on my matrix now and use bigger bioses? It's a shame thier isnt a switch to add like on the X2's so you can turn your chip off

Hmm...

The trick will be... will we have to buy a matrix programmer in order to program this thing? Or will Team-Xodus begin selling programmers seperately?

because of hundreds of complaints of how bad it actually was for noobs (if screwed up - basically you were screwed as it was almost impossible to remove)

funny thing is most complaints were from these forums

and now everyone is saying ooo look its great hehehe - I wonder how many Xecuter 1.0 / 1.1 bashers will be saying how good it is lol

been there done it - learnt from mistakes and moved on

if you think this mod is good (nothing new of course - playing catchup to x2 pro and nitroxx) - wait till you see whats cooking right now

nautiazn85, If you have a matrix already it's the same controller (you'd get an extra one!). I'd assume that if you bought it as a standalone they'd include the programmer.

Yes, Trailer Trash. Bigger better BIOS. I believe you will be able to do this VIA software control (turn off and on the Cameleon).

Anyone take note of the controller port!? Very X2 like. I wonder if it will come with an external adaptor. Anyone care to wager on what software it uses? Possibly Exectuor software? looks like the same interface so....maybe.

I would not say this is catch up to X2, more exceed it, with a programmable controller, software controllable DIP switch and D0 and A15 software control!!!! This chip is going to Rock!!!

frekkle · « **Reply #14 on:** March 31, 2003, 06:23:00 AM »

The fact that there are many ways to install this chip is good.

When I get mine i will post a full review with pics and stuff
