Default Bios?
« on: February 26, 2004, 03:27:00 AM »

I'm prolly annoying the hell outta evry1 but my chip is on the way and I gotta question

When the mod is first installed will it boot the original bios and if so can i use a web browser to flash a new bios on the chip?

Oh yea... I plan on doing the quick solder.  if I wanna be able to boot to the orig bios w/ eject I have to solder the ej wire, no?  And where do I mount the chip

Thanx

there is no need for a bios to be loaded.
the smartxx has it's own os wich get booted fist.

no need to mount anything, you just place the chip over the lpc holes and solder.

to let the xbox funtion beond the smartxx os.
so the sequence is like this:
smartxx OS gets booted => choose bank => boot bios => xbox dashboard.
