New Xbox out there : Xbox v1.2 ? *update2*
>> T-Man posted pictures of an apparently new xbox motherboard on the Xecuter forums.
The Xbox Specifications are:
region: NTSC/USA
k: 1.00.5101.01
d: 1.00.4920.01
mfg: 12-11-2002
Here's a picture of the "d0" area , which looks really different then on xbox v1.0/1.1.

"d0" doesn't seem to be at the same place on this new board. We have no idea if it works if the "d0" at the back of the motherboard is used (or the d0 directly on the bioschip).
It might be a real big design change , or maybe just a small redesign to stop the nosolder-modchips.
Thanks goes to iMURDERER for sending us this link.
update: Also note that the onboard bioschip is a 2Mbit windbond (256k) , no 8Mbit (1024k) like on Xbox V1.0/1.1. This new chip has only 32pins , the old one 40pins ... so that must be the reason why "d0" moved.
At this moment we have no idea if something else changed (nvidia chip , ...).
We'll post more info when we have it.
Thanks goes to Cyphex for the tip.
*update2* : Althought we don't know yet if the changes on the protection scheme are big , we decided to give this new board a name before the confusion starts again : Xbox v1.2.
v2.0 is reserved for what MS will show at E3
