Did you not read my review from 2 months ago - http://fileforums.com/showthread.php...ht=duo2+shadow

The Y point is just being used as a model select - they attempted to cleverly disguise this fact - possibly to hide which code they were using in the chips (if the rumour about it being ICE code is correct...)

Either way I have been tying it to ground from my first install onwards. - V10
http://www.cyber-mag.com/station/ins..._Duo2_full.jpg

I suggested to them to use link-able pads on the chip to save on having to wire the Y point to ground...

End result - The Duo2 chips I have don't use the Y point anymore. - V9

just noticed we used the same alt Voltage location on the V9

Multimeters make handy tools!

Just a note - you can get ground from the other side of that row of three resistors - i.e. one side has 3.45V the other is ground... but your point allows for a straight wire connection without the slight bend mine has

Never really tried to tell the truth but if they do have the disable set to hold for 5 seconds then on the V9 even that will shut the station off again - I suggest soldering the rst line to the eject point instead like the magic etc do in the V9 and V10!

nice installs SK - btw is it hard to solder to the that cpu thing with very thin legs?

SP - according to the website disable mode is:-


Disable Mode

- Hold the RESET button until the "blue clouds" comes up on the TV.

yes it is reasonally hard - but practice makes... well a little less bloody hard - takes a long time - I recomend only soldering to every second leg and using the vias to complete the rest leaves more room on both to work.

Still not sure if holding the button that long wont still turn the V9's off again - will try next install.

holding the reset button for like 5 secs will cause v9 machines to switch off.


maybe that is the reason why they change the operating instructions?

Ok I can clear this up from experience. If you hold reset until the clouds with the duo2 on a V9 it will shut the machine off. It you hold it until just before the cloud (5 seconds, or black screen still) it will disable the chip.
