[Seven O Two]

We've looked at the 50000 sent to us from Japan and it appears that the non-swap modchips, if they behave similar to Messiah 2, are going to need some re-design.

The CD/DVD points are no longer on nice pads - they revert to the vias like on the v4 systems. So many an amateur with the blowtorch may toast their 5000x in due course!

So with stuff shifted around, there's a lot to do with reading the BIOS, writing and testing code.

I'll try and give another report on Thursday.

figures theyd do somethin like that, time to stock up of v7's lol, because i cant mod a v4 to save my life
