Would A Xenium Plug Into Where A Xecuter 2.3b Was?

Yes it will plug into the same pin header, the problem you are going to have is the d0 plug from xecuter will not work with the xenium d0 plugin so you will have to hard solder another d0 wire to the mobo and then to the d0 pad on the chip... kind of sucky in my opinion.  Why these people cant all get along well enough to use the same method of d0 attachment so those of us who switch chips frequently i dont know, but they are all too busy trying to outdo eachother to sometimes do whats best for the community.  Anyhow to answer your question... yes with some extra modification.

If you felt like desoldering your pinheader and redoing it you could follow the tutorial out that runs the d0 into the pinheader.... but if your like me you gonna say f@ck it, not worth the extra effort.  I still havent bothered putting my Xenium in yet because of this issue.

Peace

Thats actually a damn good idea... but then if you want to switch back to the X2....... hehe not sure if I'm gonna do it that way but hell... if someone could get their hands on those and sell em for like .25 cents..... damn.
