for my jtag, i use alarm wire same colours as jtag wiring. and connect these to jtag points on board, and then join the wires using them white connector blocks in a strip.

Even if you made an adaptor it would still need soldering to the board and then de-solderd to remove it ,so i think it would take longer unless you were going to leave it inside the Box.
An adaptor that could be used over and over would also be difficult as to the amount of pins that would have to be connected at once,you would need to spread the heat to all pins locations at the same time.

I was thinking off doing some thing with springs in block the same size as the pads on the board....

but you would need two for a pace and sammy

That possibly would work ,but woundnt it be difficult to keep in place with one hand while using the pc with the other?
When modding an xbox there is a connecter used to fit the mod chip i will have a look at one of these to see if that can be used,same type of points as the jtag.

i have made one for the 4000. works a treat, no soldering involved!!!!!!!!!!!!

altho as Lance has stated above u need someone to hold it for you ( i just use the missus, cheap labour, lol!) i will post some pics 4 u peeps who are interested, will have to wait till 2mrw.

also i know some peeps have made one for the sammy and i would be interested in some info on this, have asked certain members but not willing to help!

cheers!

You could make one with Pogo Pins - Sprung loaded gold plated pins for making bed-of-nails test fixtures.

[cakess]

try www.tailor-madecircuits.com got mine from thier good bulid quality and you dont have to short any pins (8-15) but would advise you to fit ground clap to pin 25 i had problems till i fitted you can get gold plated clip at maplins 49p well worth the money.



cakess
