    As far as I am aware its not been tried on the 980m. I know someone has managed it to an 880m and there was talk about someone attempting to the 965m but unsure if the latter went ahead.

    Worth checking out eh M17x section of the forum, a quick search there will throw up whos managed to do it or not
