looks cool can't wait for it to come out lets see if the X3's will be able to match these.

Very cool. In addition to the dual SPI port as mentioned, it looks like OzXodus used an "X2-style" D0/GND connector. GREAT news for those currently using an X2 chip and want to upgrade. Plus, the RGB LED should be fun to play around with.

[edit] image problem, too lazy to fix

Being as how the method that the Chameleon currently uses (Soft switching or changing banks based on Power/Eject press) are the most elegant already I'd be amazed if the Xenium didn't offer this method among others.

One thing I do like, though, is the ability to do things like that before the box is ever turned on. But yes, as someone who answered me a while ago said, software switching does seem most likely. I stand corrected (for the most part).

To me, using the Power & Eject buttons to control functions of the modchip is a much nicer method than having to use a switch. I think the external switches on the X2 are extremely ugly!

Oh, I didn't mean external switches. I meant something more along the lines of what the chameleon has already. But either way, I'm sure the Xenium will be great as-is!
