ARGON-SPI INTRODUCTION:
ARGON is a chip the introduce the programming concept called "MULTIFUNCTIONAL JTAG". ARGON is consisting of a last generation ACTEL chip that can be re-programmed with different firmwares, last version has a SPI 2Mbit flash on board for new few wires firmwares. The JTAG update suffers the fact that it needs an external programmer to be implemented, but it gives to the developers the possibility to COMPLETELY CHANGE THE CHIP CODE, SOMETHING UNTHINKABLE FOR OTHER PROJECTS.
Currently ARGON is being used by D2C systems successfully, it has a UNIQUE firmware in the world made up by 13 threads.
Were shortly releasing a new firmware for PStwo that will work on ARGON., making just a simple programming operation ARGON chip will be ok for PStwo consoles. This is an example of how great is the possibility to change the chips logic code!!
REMEMBER, the JTAG programming works also if the chip is NOT INTALLED, which is great for resellers to have up-to-date stocks  because they are able to program the stoks by their own.

CURRENT FIRMWARE AVAILABLE:
ARGON 1.8 FIRMWARE (released 26/02/2008)
