I don't have a copy of the install instructions, but form memory... The chip that was sold on Racketboy's had a 2 wire install. A power wire that was soldering to a pin on the power supply board and another wire that was soldered to a pin of an IC on the drive board (you didn't have to lift the pin, just solder a wire to it). There was another method, the "1+2 method" is what people were calling it, or maybe it was "A+B method." It involved bridging the two connections on the chip and then you only had to solder one wire inside the Saturn... but I can't remember if it was the power wire or data wire (I didn't use this method, personally). I wanna say it was the power wire, which means you didn't have to solder to the leg of the IC, and that's why it was popular because that's the part people had trouble with.
edit: Yep, I just searched the forum for A+B method and that's what it was, bridge A and B on the chip then you only have to solder the power wire to +5v on the power supply board. Now if you need to know which pin on the IC the wire is soldered to... my memory isn't that good. If it can't be found in a Google, I (or someone else that has the chip installed) could open my Saturn and see which pin it is.
