=====================================================
I didn't know that the drive and motherboard are tied together.
I would definitely go for the 'chipping' option because I like to do
things properly no matter what the cost.
I'm not sure that I would take it on myself, I think that would be
best left to someone who already knows what they are doing.
I dont even know what 'Jtag' games are.
