Ok so I knew about the fact that you could solder a bunch of wires to a DC motherboard and then be able to access a HDD via dreamshell. What I didn't know is that there are adapters out there and if you get the proper one, you can remove the disc drive completely! I found one on this Chinese site (wish I had bookmarked it.) and it was roughly 15 bucks.
Here's the rub... the site is literally Chinese, I can't read anything on it, even with google translate, so I'm not 100% sure of what I am buying. Supposedly the kit comes with a custom BIOS chip, which is needed to remove the gdrom, but I'm unsure if it's pre-burned or not.
So I'm looking for an adapter and a BIOS burned to unlock the G1 port. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.
I'm actually not sure when I can do this anyway... I'm having vision problems.
