wrayal Bipolar (III) Inmate From: Cranleigh, Surrey, England Insane since: May 2003	posted 03-29-2005 22:22 Yes, much BIOS tinkering - it was a TSOP flash. I was flashing on cromwell. Put it this way - I'm on good terms with (/whatever the correct term is) the maker of cromwell, the maker of the smart-xx modchip, the leader of the xbox-linux project and the guy who invented the TSOP flash concept. And basically, it could be fixed if I stuck in a modchip, but I was thinking of hanging it on the wall as a testament to the fact that I should be more careful with my hacking.
