Hmmm yes that will be a problem. Is there a reset button?

[spedmetal]

Well it doesnt look like its a problem after all, check this out.

Turns out the CC chip doesnt need the eject/reset points on the PSTwo.

I'm hoping to get a sample soon.

No time for samples, we need stock of a working/reliable v12 mod!

Nope! First v12 machine we opened yesterday needed the pots turned down to less than 300 ohms just to get DVDR working (OUCH!).

The 2nd machine worked fine & the ohms read 770!

The 1.0 Infinity needs to be flashed in an earlier version to work in a v12, you can't flash it from the memory card manager

Crystal Chips are shipping now.

I've also heard reports of the laser driver IC and the laser also burning out in these new V12's. The IC is similar to the LA but combined with the LB as well. Looks like the dead V9/V10 syndrome all over again. Maybe a Romeo type mod can prevent this problem as well. Only time will tell, but until then I'm kind of leary about the V12.

cc team should have the v12 supported chips very soon... matter of days

[spedmetal]

Well the CC team released the source code of there firmware the other day and it has been hacked already to boot back-ups. I received a sample the other day but I'm waiting for my PSTwo to show up as I had to order it online because all the stores around here are sold out, just to find out that Fry's is also sold out and my V12 is on back-order!
