Title: 1.6 D0 Question

You absolutely can use that point.  I have done 2 1.6's and both times I used that point, its far easier than the top ones.  If its a xenium ice, just solder the wire from that point to the top d0 pad on the chip, heres a better pic:

That guide has some hi res pics, I followed that guide for both 1.6's I did and no problems and its easier than what xodus wants you to do.

yea you can select what bios you want to run from the OS menu.  I'm not sure what the other guy is saying about XBLive but If you select the Retail TSOP bios you should be ok to run on xbox live with a 1.6.

Your going to have launch items in the OS if you want the hacked bios select that, if you want the Retail select that.  there are no switches, all handled by the OS on the chip

Ya its all handled by the os.  When you install it, you go to launch then add item and add a tsop item which is the onboard bios for live.

Not for the 1.6. If your Xbox is a 1.6 and the Chip is the Xenium Blue you need to ground the D0. That means No XBLive until they get the HDD Bios launching fixed. The 1.6 Bios is 1 meg you can load it to the chip but you would need to reload it every time you want to play on live and reload the (modified) bios when you want to play your Totally legal backups.

Are you sure you cant resize it back to 256KB?

The xbox BIOS is indeed [edit]2[/edit]56k, but as gumba was hinting at and ncaissie said, the TSOP is 1MB, basically it's four identical copies of the 256K BIOS. The question was is it safe to resize it if it's going on the chip, or will that  possibly make the hash check  XBL performs on the BIOS fail?

(This is only applicable if you are actually flashing your TSOP to your chip, somethign most needent ever do, AFAIK, Xenium's flash from TSOP doesnt actually flashthe chip...)

For blue you must ground the lframe, but ice you solder it to the chip.  The 1.6 bios is probably up on the usual places as 256k but I haven't checked.

I backed up the 1.6 Bios to load it to the Xenium but it left no room for anything else.

Exactly. You should be able to resize it back to 256KB.
