Thanks warrmr - will probably go down the veroboard route.  Just need to work out where to break the track.

Is the serial worth putting on?  What sort of debug does it give?

Ah ok, on the DB25 port, do I really need to link 12 to 2 and 11 to 3?

Also are the resisters 330ohm 1/4 watt?

Thanks for the info.  I was looking at printing a PCB to put the chip, resisters and a DB25 port on.  Would this below be suitable before I go through and etch it!

Would the following be suitable:

Also, I have done all the file system changes, except on page 2 it mentions

Copy the patched TV2ClientCE2.exe to the folder \Hard Disk\TV2ClientCE\

I could not find this in any of the files/zips.

Is this still necessary?

Ah, ok - thought there may be a pre-built programmer.  I presume parallel is the only way to program (not available via USB?).

Will have to dig the old PC out with a parallel port on!

I notice from the schematic that it shows connections to JP1 is that required?  Also, is that a Capacitor between +3 & Gnd?

Hi,

I have obtained the Atmega8 chips but now need to program them.  Can anyone recommend any hardware programmer? (I'd rather not build one) or can I buy the chips pre-programmed?

I am willing to pay for someone to program the modchip and create the board so that I just have to solder the cables to the board. :-)
