    Sophia dev unit request

    If anyone reading this has a Sophia dev unit, I'd like to ask for screenshots of the bottom board, that have sufficiently high resolution so the chip labels are readable. It could be closeups of each chip too, same thing.

    I'm curious of this because I've seen a screenshot where some system components were subtly different from the ones in a retail console, but the screenshot was not big enough to read any labels. Of major interest was the SCU chip (315-5690), which had a metallic cover - something I only saw before in a supposedly prototype unit, but again the screenshots of that were too small. It is also known that this chip went through at least 4 versions before it got into the retail console.

    I'll take some better photos once I've cleaned up all that terrible smokey dust off her.
    I've got a few more quick snaps in my gallery here too of individual chips, eventually I'll update it with decent pictures.

    Is the second photo the one you were referring to? I saw it last night on these very forums, can't find the thread for the life of me now!
