Omni 018
                               --------


        This file explains how to get this ver 2 software to work in an
018X series VideoCipher.  Several files of this sort are floating around
without any instructions on how to use this chip.

        You will need a valid set of seed keys and unit Id number from
an 018x series VideoCipher.  The seed keys are put into the loader chip
starting at address 2000.  Enter the first seed key (7 Bytes) then follow
it by a 00.  Enter the next key (7 Bytes) then follow by a 00, enter the
next key (7 bytes) then follow by a 00, finally the last 7 bytes then
follow by a 00.

        Load the unit id at 235 of the loader chip in standard form
example 01 81 1f 1f ff  (these are fake of course).

        Load the even month keys at 100 to 11f and the odd month keys
at 163 to 182. 

        Put the loader chip in U30 of the VideoCipher, Plug the unit in,
wait a few seconds... then unplug the unit and replace U30 with the run
chip..  The protection scheme in this chip has been removed, so the unit
will take updates from GI.  Several of the files around will work but
DO NOT take hit, and will go down!  This chip receives all consumer
services, the Pay per views including Request Tv and Viewers choice.
It will not receive the Z channel, Zap Channels, Cable Video Store, or
Home Tv premier.  This is the software that the Testron Test Device is
based on.. Contrary to Testrons claim they ARE a clone! The put this
2 chip package into a single eprom and encoded it.. The plas on the 
Protect test device convert the data to usable form.. This NEVER loses
audio!!!!
