Wiizard Modchip (beta testing)

[gurvir19]

We received our batch of beta chips on Wed! Attached are some pics. These beta chips have a resonator. The final release will have oscilators on them for better stability. So far we have done about 10 hours of testing and havent had any major problems. Have had the disc drive take 10-20 seconds before it power cycles but this is due to resonator which has said to have been fixed.






HIGH RES PICS

Are those points changeable?
Is the diagram on www.wiizardmod.com wrong?
That spot works better ?(its the spot that the d2pro9 uses).

As an extra comentary, when I install my first d2pro9 never worked because I was doing it wrong spot, till I see the diagram I found my mistake, I was thinking was the same spot as wasabi but d2pro uses the other (the one you are using on the picture) after that the d2pro9 worked fine.

Hopefully you can answerme some of these questions.

yes i beleive the diagram might be wrong as when i soldered to the original spot it didnt work either..i dont know if this is with all boards or not but I always use the second spot for d2pro9 and argon...only wasabi i use the first one

jtag points are on the bottom of the chip. we will also do a review once we get the final chips in. hopefully they arent going to send beta chips out to those that ordered online, these are just samples afaik.

I know the JTAG is on the back what I meant to say was were is the JTAG connector for a ribbon cable. How can we update this if its gotta be opened and then solders to?
