hi,
i've found a few website selling a new revision of the x2.3 chips and was wondering what they fixed or added to the new batch of chip. was there something wrong with the first x2.3's or what. i checked out xb scene and didnt find much on the new chips. if you guys know anything let me know.
thanks

QUOTE found from xb-scene
"New Xecuter2.3 revision B
>> It looks like all new stock the official Xecuter2.3 Lite/Lite+/Pro resellers get are new revision 'B' versions (X2.3b).
Apparently Team Xecuter got rid of the USB-adaptor (used for 5v/3.3v) and is now using a normal point again (no problems with ground). Removing the USB-adaptor should also make production cheaper.

It looks like they take all power from LPC#6 (VCC5 - 5v) now (which is apparently not removed from LPC on xbox v1.5 - only 3.3v (LPC#9) and ground (LPC#2 and LPC#12) are ?).
As I could not find any xbox v1.5 here yet ... I don't know for sure if 5v is removed on xbox v1.5 or not ... but anyway there's a big alternative 5v 'presoldered' point on the rightside of the LPC points that can easily be used if LPC#6 is dead on xbox v1.5.
X2.3b has apparently been changed so it doesn't need 3.3v anymore (or they convert the 5v to 3.3v where needed).

As the Xecuter2.3 Pro weren't available yet (first stock is coming in this week), I guess the pros will be directly 2.3b. Will be confirmed later.

Above info is not 'official' info, we're waiting for an official news release from Team Xecuter.
More info/update soon."
