does it allow for booting backup copies? or is that still dependant on flashing the drive?

did you read what it said?

NOTE: Cygnos360 does not contain any kernel image! It is shipped empty! Cygnos360 does NOT enable "backups" it is NOT for the DVD drive. You need to have an infectus programmer or another programmer to flash the Cygnos360.

Personally I think this is pointless.

For a normal person installing an infectus 2 and using the timing attack to downgrade the kernal and then to obtain your CPU key is going to be too difficult.

I don't see how it is going to be useful to anyone.  The idea is good but I think we need a combined solution with the features of both the infectus 2 and timing attack PCB and this device and it needs to be simple to install.

even at that, the timing attack is only possible on a handful of systems, and those systems are the ones prone to failure. the number of vulnerable machines at this point is relatively small.

My launch console is still going strong. It RRoD on me over a year ago, but my x-clamp fix and fan port divider have kept it running great ever since. It's seen more hours of play after the x-clamp fix than before.

Wow, the Dreamcast and then the Xbox really spoiled most of the scene members didn't it?  The xbox was probabley the last machine that will offer a true plethora of hombrew functionality - most people don't realize just how fortunate it was to have the xbox so exploitable.  There really wasn't half as much hombrew available for either the Gamecube or the PS2 because its resources weren't as accessible - each and every console manufacturer learned from the mistakes that Sega and MS made with their consoles and implemented protections against those - they won't make the same mistakes again, and consequently, we will probabley never have that level of freedom with another console - so for the people complaining about "REAL" modchips, use a PC if you want "REAL" homebrew...
