Neokey to neo 2.2 or origa?

telephone (31-12-2001 19:33):
I have a neokey, or i guess its also called sbox maybe too? anyways its a external modchip and i assume it doesn't load dvdr backups from what i've read so i need a new modchip. i have a US (v5 i'm pretty sure) ps2 and so if i got a new modchip would i have to unsolder the wire i already have in there? is that possible? and which modchip do you suggest, charlie or whomoever for booting dvdrs? and is there a place i can buy the modchip from in the US that will also install and uninstall it and the wires and the wire i already have in? thanks a ton!

Neo2.2 & Origa to roughly the same thing; Neo2.2 does about 75% of the Origa functionality. Origa will boot import originals (very useful indeed) and the DVDR boot process is simple and not timing dependent as per NEO2.2.

Don't worry about the 1 wire. It's common to both chips (I believe) and if I'm wrong, the installer of the chip will deal with it. Either chip should be professionally installed if you're not a soldering whizzo. Origa is much more difficult to do than NEO2.2
