My question, for my own personal information, is about flashing the 78 with USB. I was always under the impression that Slax wouldn’t work as a method for getting the drive into ModeB if you were connecting via USB? But now people are saying you can use USB with Slax with this method and it will work fine. Is that a new feature of a new version of Slax or was I completely missing something?
And if Slax does work for ModeB, why in God’s name would anyone overspend for X360USB when you can get an SATA->USB converter for like $10? From what I’ve understood, the only real advantage of X360USB is that it switches to ModeB for you, but if you need Slax for the 78 with this method, seems to render X360USB completely obsolete, no? A $10 SATA->USB connectivity kit would work just fine, right?
