Post your thoughts on the chip.
Personally, I think this will be just another 3rd gen with extra flash.

BTW: First!

It looks ok, Probally best for Developers as it can be Flashed via USB. I wonder if it can use a USB Stick.

Is it just me but didn't they never even sell the cameleon 2 before bringing out a "better chip"?  Sounds like a shell game, just keep shifting the pre order $$ untill you have no idea where it was.  Been ripped off by them once and it won't happen again.

is it just me, or is anyone else bothered by the way they (EB2k) write their specs? especially when they had announced the supposed "chameleon 2."  megaBYTES is usually written with capitals -> MB. whereas megaBITS is written with a capital and lowercase -> Mb. if it is indeed the latter, the chip would only be 512k with 256k for this supposed SRAM  blink.gif

i hope someone can clarify this up for me. maybe by telling them not to use ancronyms  wink.gif

Common sense will tell you it's megabytes because this chip is suppose to be better than the Chameleon. wink.gif

I dont understand what the hell easybuy2000 is doing either. They steal the chameleon designs, and then add a meg of memory to it, jack up the price and call it the chameleon 2, then the day the cham 2 is released, they double the memory again, jack up the price even more and give the mod a new name. hmmm interesting... If you try to figure out what the hell is going on by visiting their site, you get some vague descriptions, coming soon messages etc. Why not display the things this mod does to encourage people to purchase? no way in hell i'd order one of these for 65$ with a solderless adaptor. Isnt the xecuter lite like 52$ or around there? plus, who the hell could possibly need 4 megs of memory! 1 meg is plenty. Most people only use 1 bank anyways.  I dont need 16 different bioss

This was the same arguement with the first 1 MB bios chips.. now we got chips from different camps giving us 1, 2, and 4 MB to flash different bios with.

We've already seen proof of concept bios from xecuter.. with embedded xbe/ftp.  Expect more once x3 ships.

As for EB stealing the Cham.. that's not exactly what happened.  EB and Xodus were business partners.. on designing the chips.. the other manufacturering and distributing the chip.  That relationship soured.. and Xodus got screwed out of alot of money.

Both sides retained the cham designs. Xodus decided to wash their hands of the Chameleon designs and project.. meanwhile EB had released another batch or two after the separation and wouldn't you know.. there were ALOT of problems with the EB only batch.

Anyway.. they didn't STEAL the chameleon.

Eb2000 isn't a relieble site and I belive its just trying to do something with the fact that it can't fulfil cutomer demands for the chameleon 2. This new chipslooks rather useless compared with the xenium or smartXx

Unless this chip as an OS like the Xenium or SmartXX it will not be worth it.
