This is an extension of a question I asked(/answered lol) here: http://team-xecuter.com/forums/show...er-Switch-for-Hard-Drives?p=906936#post906936
I understand that the switch to power on the DemoN is not actually a switch that breaks any current, but simply a button that sends an electrical signal that tells the DemoN to power on. What I want to know is, when the DemoN comes on, does it do anything that causes the Xbox to use its NAND instead of the onboard one? Or does just having the DemoN on cause that switch? If the latter is true then that means I can simulate the effect of turning the DemoN on and off by simplifying switching it to ON mode and then adding a switch in-between its 3.3V line correct? So that when I turn the switch off and cut the line the DemoN goes off and the Xbox uses its NAND, and when I turn the switch ON and complete the line the DemoN goes on and uses its NAND. Or would the DemoN stay off once I cut the line the first time, even once I reconnect it? So basically is it a power state that is toggled within the DemoN that sticks even when the power is cut? Or would the fact I last had it in ON mode be lost when I cut the 3.3V line? OR in the first place is the switching of the NANDs not as simple as the DemoN not being on?
You may wonder why I want to manually turn the DemoN on and off instead of using the button it comes with. Well that is why I linked to that other thread.
