GOOD NEWS MODDERS!!!!!!!
i have been out today and picked up a new box to chip for a friend. I opened it up and...wow thats weird? this HD is different than any 1.0 or 1.1 i have ever seen?!!?! it has a white sticker which covers 100% of the top of the drive. still manufactured by seagate and still 10gb. hmm, ok i think.

Everything else looks the same, then i notice there are some extra surface mount resistors bottom left of the LPC, and that d0 is closer the the LPC....lol wtf!?!

so installed the X2Lite i had bought ready for this box, put it back together and it boots up ok.

I install EVOx, xbmp, etc etc etc...and run some games to test it.
Upgraded to 4974 Blue bios, tested again OK.

wasnt till i came on here now i saw these posts about a new box!!!!!!

WELL THEY WORK WITH EXISTING 1.1 BIOSES!!!!!!! STANDARD X2L 4973 AND 4974 WORK FINE!!!!!!

This is good news!!!

i will post pics of the mod, the board, the HDD and everything working fine to prove this when i get home from work (3hrs!).

hope this has helped relieve some of you worrying!"
the others you know work fine
so i'd say it really doesn't matter... it's your call
theyre all about the same
just slight modifications here and there

Doing some reading on this new version has brought some interesting things to light.
They have moved some stuff around like the D0 so that a person can’t use The Matrix or pogo pin adapter for the Xecuter2. So I guess its back to soldering the chips in until the design a new Matrix and the Xecutor2 pogo pin adaptor for the ver1.2.

I’m thinking this is a shot to cut down on the every day person installing modchips.
I bet Microsoft is thinking b/c the person will have to solder the chip will now have to send his XBox out to get modded by some one like Bill and spend even more money, if he cant solder it in him self. Thus making him rethink getting a modchip in the first place.
I donno I could be way off here…
