As I cant Mod the Box, Its useless to me. So If I ripped out the HDD and connected it up via USB would it work or is it locked?
Thanks
Yes, there is nothing special about the hdd.

Why cant you mod the box? its not hard to make a modchip...
Mick
Because I dont have a parallel port? Lol.
Im sure someone on the forum would program a chip for you if you are stuck :)
Mick
I asked, but I didn't get a response. Will someone do it? Ill be happy to pay for it + Postage :).
Hi guys, I am also interested in getting into this as a project. And so too would be interested in getting hold of a chip (as I don't have all the tools necessary to make it).
If anyone is willing to put one together I would be happy to pay.
Thanks
;) you would also have to be fairly good at soldering as the point for the reset wire is a very small pad ! not done it yet myself as I am waiting for a chip ( RS )

I have a needle point iron, and even I found the reset pin near on impossible to get solder to stick to so I traced it back a little way and connected it a bit further up the track. I've attached a pic of my "reset" wire. Basically I moved it up the track just past the surface mount component as there was a pad with solder already on it.
For the power I used a Dremel to scrape off the top of the +3v3 point, guess there's going to be an easier point but, hey it works!
I used the same wire colours as Mick just s I didn't confuse my self. I'll be happy to supply and program chips one I get time to go get some more, but as already suggest you'll need to be reasonable with a soldering iron. Though its not a difficult intall by any means!
