I have been of of the modding loop for a little over 8 months now, after modding all of my friends boxes with 2.3 pros there was nothing left to do. Anyway, I have a couple people that want me to install chips in the xboxes now and a found out 2.3 is gone, so I order the x3 and x2.6 and programmer for some trial and error testing. I used to flash via the lpt ports on the 2.3pro, having never been able to get the crowell to take a disk. any way with all the new options for flashing what are you guys finding is the most convenent way to flash the new series of chips. any help would be greatly appreciated. I have put in the time over the years searching and I guess I am getting lazy. Thanks in advance.
