Does anybody have any idea where can I buy a V1 magic 2 chip?

So far as I know www.ps2modchip.com and the v3 model covers v1.

Are you sure the V3 will play in a US V1 ? I dont really want to blow $80.

I was looking for the same thing, a Magic 2 modchip for Version 1. Does the V3 board soldering points coincide with the V1? If not, where can I get instructions?

Also, the Magic 2 has 23 wire soldering points. Is there anything like taking off a power supply or something with the magic 2 modchip I should be aware of?

-thanks in advance

I havn't seen a need to remove the power supply in the few pics I have seen. But I am not positive. Personally I'm sending mine in to Bill at www.freedomlives.com so I dont have to deal with the stress of messing up, and would more than likely do so.
