I LOVE my WiiKey!

I can't wait for the homebrew scene to explode!

If you plan to install a chip,PLEASE, PLEASE be sure you have the right tools, wire and skill to do it!

The contacts are tiny and fragile on the Wii drive!

15 watt iron
Tiny tip
Flux
Good eyes
Steady hand
Kynar wire

These are the minimum you will need.
A remote, wired install is much easier and safer than the "quick solder" method.
