I think you are right on the money with the $7.99 chip being mode 2 on the 3 mode chip.
Like System said, we are here for everyone free of charge. You have already paid your due by supporting the acidmods store. Besides we would help you even if it isn't our product.......might not be as prompt as an acidmods related problem, but rest assured we would get you fixed up.
Chalk this one up to another successful acidmods install!
