After seeing voldo's post I'm reminded of needs for a project much down the road, but the longer I wait to get these parts, the harder it will probably be.
I'm in need of a few (at least 4) 4-wire mod chips for a dreamcast, preferably with the pcb board attached to the main chip (cause i'm lazy enough).
When I search for these on retail sites, its just dead links or out-of-stocks.
Irritatingly enough its still possible to buy sega saturn mod chips via two sites I've run across.
Anyone know of any sites still up? Or anyone that might have (at least) 4 still laying around collecting dust?
is it still possible to find the 4wire mod chips?

Voldo is that the type I'm looking for? I don't mind paying ~22$ for each one, but that site will charge me ~45 just to ship it to me.

Man, I want one so bad so I can install Dreamshell into the bios mod. Nice to see somebody that still has them for sale.

Re: is it still possible to find the 4wire mod chips?
I have a lot left. Main reason I order them was for actual DC Import Lovers and Collectors at Racketboy. Not only are they hard to find but expensive and shipping can sometimes be $40-$90.Anthony817 wrote:Man, I want one so bad so I can install Dreamshell into the bios mod.

Mine don't come with the PCB but I can pre-wire them.

What is the PCB needed for? I have a good enough knoweledge of Computer components to build myself a PC, and work on them, just never really soldered anything other than a single wire on a car stereo cd player.
