RE: XBox Experience - Positive!

["Dean Smith" <dean@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The solder ones really are very easy these days.

If you go for the "header install" theres a bit if very easy
soldering for
the "header" part (row of dual pins - similair to those used for
serial
ports/usb extensions etc on motherboards) and then the "d0"
point. This is a
fine wire and small soldering point, but really nothing to put you off.

Even the non-solder ones are supposed to be very reliable now.

The ability to flick a switch and disable the chip and revert to a
"virgin"
xbox is quite comforting initially.

Hehehehe.... I could do that, but I'm thinking about trying the no
solder one, and will probably need to give in and re-do it with the
solder one a week or so later  ;->.... (the last time I soldered
anything was a chip on my PS1 so that was.... maybe 6 or 7 years ago!) I
saw the classic version used in Game for 10 or 12 quid.
