XBOX 1.6 released

"

Xbox v1.6 is here ... first pictures and analyse!
>> booyeah on the xbox-scene forums bought a new Xbox console today and he's the first one reporting to us with the new xcalibur videochip.
It was already reported some time ago a new xbox videochip would be used in new xboxes (thought to be first in the crystal LE Xbox ... but apparently all those were still v1.4 (Focus videochip)).
But now that we saw the first pictures of this v1.6 apparently much more changed then just the videochip ... it's basicly a total new board design. (LCP is still there but with point 4 open ...). "D0" probably also moved as the "D0-area" totally changed.
It looks like it won't be possible to put an extra 64MB ram anymore as the extra places to solder these chips have changed.
Also ... it looks like there's no onboard TSOP anymore. The BIOS chip might have become a read-only chip (that rectangle chip above the LPC?) so it can't be re-programmed anymore or maybe they placed the TSOP on the back of the motherboard now.
Booyeah's new Xbox has a philips DVD drive.
It's unknown at this moment if there is extra or new security. This Xbox will (probably) require a new bios (with support for the new xcalibur videochip) and maybe more.

Whats wrong with moving the D0? Someone will find it and then all we'll have to do is get a longer wire.

This really sucks big time.

Now we have to track down the D0 again. Cant add more RAM since there is no more emtey RAM slots, creat a new BIOS for the new video encoder, and who knows what else.

Freaking ****bites.

If you ask me, it is about time. I may not like it much, but I bet the hackers are going to have alot of fun with this one.
