Nah, that ain't the one. The jumper pins are in the wrong place.
Here it is, found at http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Firmtek/SATA1SC1/:-



SATA connector tight to corner of PCB: check.
Dot on board next to SATA connector: check.
Top jumper pin in line with edge of SATA connector: check.
Three components in a row next to crystal: check.

I don't know if it is fake or not. Well find out in about a week or so. If there's not a youtube video by then we can safely assume it's a lie. Is this supposedly by team matrix? Is there a release date?

Okay,I had a long chat with my supplier last night,and basically he told me the same as every one els "he doesnt know",but what he did say is there is another team that use to sell mxl2 clones a few years back(infinaty clones ect...), and they have been desperately trying to get to the wii market with there chip "Matrix MX-Wii",they also used the matrix name with everything ,maybe this WiiZii is theres,any way website is here incase some one want to have a look THE MATRIX TEAM - WII ,so who knows its probably just a rumor but time will tell

[idog]

So, is this offically declared a fake now ?
