Quick update for news watchers:
- Finished porting our final X3 code to Actel. Spent a sleepless night in our workshop testing the crap out of it and everything is looking great except for one bug which we are trying to nail. Apart from this we are pretty much go for production - we may miss our deadline by a couple of days - we'll know more by Friday and will keep you posted as usual.
- Added support for nghtshd's XBpartition tool to X3 by request. Now can be toggled in X3 Config live if you wish to read the partition tables from HDD as opposed to the set bios versions.
- We will be releasing a new X2 bios for our loyal X2 customers as soon as we've finished X3 work. This will support v1.6, XBTool & XBpartition.
- After scouring the forums we have taken the advice of various users and made some changes to the X2.6 PCB. Some components and connectors have been shifted around to give a more optimum design.
- Added HDD & LAN LED to X2.6 - HDD/LAN/D0 connector same as X3 for easey future upgrade.
- Updated the X2 programmer. Its a lot smaller and leaner. Tested on 2.3B and 2.6 using WinXP, Win2K, WinmE, Win98SE, Win95 with X2 Bios manager v2.2. Also working on adding support to this programmer to be able to flash the X3 also - not tested yet, we will let you know.
- We will be supplying the no solder reset / eject plug that will be used on X3 for the MS kernel functions and also for the Infra Red Mod addon - free of charge with every X3 supplied.
- FlashBIOS v2.6.0 has gone gold. We have made some changes since the beta version we released last week. This will come pre flashed to the X2.6

- FlashBIOS v3.0.0 is now in development for X3. A basic version will be supplied with X3, however we plan on adding a whole suite of linux features to this bios in the near future thanks to our new member who is quite proficent in linux.

We are working hard day and night to finish this project - as well as working on many other projects which you will benefit from in the near future. We'll post more updates as and when necessary.
