Specifications

Variations

Jasper_A0

First Jasper motherboard with the XSB southbridge. Never used in production retail units.

Jasper_A1

Same as Jasper_A0, but with the PSB southbridge. This is the version that was used in production.

Jasper Advanced

A Jasper Advanced board with the Zeus GPU

Jasper_A1 was modified slightly for the Xbox 360-GB Development Console. Support for 1GB of RAM was added by routing the 13th addressing line. Other minor changes and cleanup were made. Early versions use the Zeus GPU, while later boards used Kronos.

Tonasket

Tonasket, initially known as Jasper_B, is a revision of Jasper. Changes include use of the Kronos GPU and board layout cleanup.
