Mikobu (3-in-1) and Generation II instruction
detox99
The Mikobu Plus and Generation II units are the same design as the original
with an added jumper for phoenix mode
* Amphenol card slot rated at 100K+ insertions.
* Supports all speeds of serial communication.
* Surface mount technology.
* Ps/2 power supply.
* No switches/dips.
* phoenix mode capacity.
I. FLASHING;
---All Mikobu Plus (3-in-1) and Generation II units must have an attached
additional serial cable in order to properly Flash the unit. It cannot
be flashed through the existing serial connector/ps2. If experiencing
difficulty being "detected", or If flashing fails, disconnect
the power for a few seconds and then reconnect. this method should clear
up any NON com-port related problems, a reset is recommended after each
flash. Reboot your computer if problems persist.
**Win2k and XP users will not be able to flash from Windows or through
a DOS window. Flash from a bootable disk (IE. "2313 Atmel Flash Utility",
which can be found at dssgroundzero.com). Boot to pure DOS to use (not
a DOS Window). Win 95 and 98 users can still use the KK flash panel. remember
to reset/power down, after flashing.

II. LOADING:
---When glitching/Loading cards your cards you must insert the card with
the chip facing up.
HU;
Make sure the jumper on the unit is attached and properly flashed with
the correct code. The only time this jumper is off is for unlooper/pheonix
programmer mode.
H UNLOOPER;
---Make sure the jumper on the unit is attached and properly flashed with
the correct code. Now remove the jumper and you can proceed to use Winexplorer.
H;
---Make sure the jumper on the unit is attached and properly flashed with
the correct code. Disconnect power, then power up with card inserted.
This should program and load your H.
III. PROGRAMMER MODE:
---Phoenix PROGRAMMER mode =make sure power up with card in
---UNLOOPER mode=make sure power up without card in
If you want to flash the unit for Phoenix programmer mode, use "SU2bs01"
or specific code you need. When flash is complete, remove the jumper and
power off the unit. Insert your card and power the back on. It is now
in Phoenix Programmer mode.
Like wtplus2, phoenix mode is enabled by placing a card in the unlooper
when the atmel is reset. If the atmel is reset without a card inserted,
it will be in 'unlooper' mode. Note that current software supporting the
phoenix interface (BasicH, WinExplorer, SLE44e_p, etc) does not know how
to reset the atmel. Because of this, it is necessary that the atmel reset
pin (pin 1) not be connected to the circuit in most unloopers. Disconnecting
this pin causes the atmel to be reset only at power up.
Once in phoenix mode, the unlooper waits for PC software to reset the
card. When a card reset attempt is detected, the card is reset and the
unlooper applies a glitch to get by the damage cause by the BS ECM. At
that point, the card should function normally while in the unlooper, returning
an ATR (assuming you have no other damage to your cards EEPROM). The unlooper
then forwards all communication between the PC and card.
H (BS)
Su2v2 should be able to repair your cards EEPROM so that your card is
usable with this software (look for other guides for info on installing
su2 atmel code and using su2v2). Try reading or repairing your card with
su2v2 first, it will probably only be readable/repairable in setup 3 mode.
If you are able to do this successfully, then there is a good chance your
card will work with wtbsboot.
BS & WTBS to emulate.
First, you need to 'Aux' your card. To do this, put your unlooper in
'phoenix' mode as described above. Clean card to 26 updates in BasicH.
Quit Windows and drop to dos. Put your Unlooper on Com 1 and go into the
directory where you have your emulator files. Type: sle44a_p. This will
create your aux card.
Finally, move your unlooper to com 2 and setup your ird interface on
com 1. Start your emulator like you'd normally would.
IV. PS2 ATTACHED CABLE;
This is your ps2 power supply. This is connected to your Keyboard/Mouse
port. your Keyboard and mouse can still be used without interruption in
the power supply, simply attach to the provided extension.
The serial attachment can only be used for programming communication.(you
must attach an extra serial cable to flash as described above).
There is a work around for this serial design flaw, do NOT attempt the
following Modification Unless you are EXPERIENCED in electronics and KNOW
what you are doing. Myself, Nor any one involved with this Modification
will be held responsible for your screwing up your loader!
Workaround and modification;
****Do NOT attempt the following Modification Unless you are EXPERIENCED
in electronics and KNOW what you are doing****
You cannot flash the Atmel on the Mikobu Plus (3-in-1) and Generation
II units by using the serial connection on the internal serial/PS2 interface.
Why, because the internal serial interface is not mapped to the circuit
board correctly. Instead, you have to unplug the internal serial cable
and plug a second external serial cable into the circuit board DB9 connector
every time you want to load new code onto your Atmel. This design flaw
of the internal PS2/serial interface, can be Modified for convenience.
Big thanks to MrHyTech for the following Information:
By mapping out the serial connections on the Mikobu circuit board, there
is a workaround. I found out that the orange wire coming in from the serial/PS2
cable goes to the same circuit path as pin #1 on the circuit board DB9
connector. But this connection to pin #1 isn't used for anything. Then
I found that pin #8 on the circuit board DB9 isn't mapped over to the
serial/PS2 interface, and yet the circuit path to pin #8 is needed. So
what I did is disconnect the orange wire from the serial/PS2 circuit board
interface and soldered an extension wire from the orange wire to pin #8
on the circuit board DB9 connector. Then I cut off the female DB9 connector
on the end of the serial/PS2 cable and wired in a new female DB9 connector
(the PS2 brown and black wires get spliced to the brown and black wire
on the main serial cable and the rest of the serial cable wires are mapped
as follows: red wire to pin #2, green to pin #3, yellow to pin #4, blue
to pin #5, purple to pin #7, and orange to pin #8). Note: the new DB9
connector will now have the orange wire rewired correctly to the DB9 pin
#8 instead of pin #1. I also found that the circuit board DB9 connector
has pin #4 and pin #6 in the same circuit path, so I had to solder a jumper
wire between pin #4 (yellow wire connection) and pin #6 inside the new
DB9 connector that I wired onto the end of the serial/PS2 cable. Now you
can just boot into DOS and flash the Atmel without the having to deal
with the hassle of hooking up a second serial cable.
Also by mapping the power coming in from the PS2 cable (brown wire is
+5 and black wire is ground), you will able to wire in a handy toggle
power switch. Adding a power switch will save you the bother of unplugging
the PS2 connector on the back of your computer every time you need to
power down and reset the Mikobu.
happy testing...
