To find out if your chipset works, it's simple...

Just connect your 360 drive, use Slax for this toolset to get into Mode B and recognized by Windows, use this toolset to dump firmware, open the dumped firmware in this toolset and use the validate to make sure it's a good dump. If so, your chipset works.

my via8237 works with both versions of slax and hitachi drives, jus havent tested the 78 yet.

my sil3112 wont work with slax though.


I couldn't get the slax cd to work with my 8237, had to use cross wire.  Did you do anything special like timings etc? Is your XP install on an IDE or sata drive?

Anybody...is this workin with USB+Slax 2?

And if so, in theory it should work with regular SATA-->USB connector, no need for X360 USB right? As only advantage of X360 USB is it switches to ModeB?

the 360 usb doesn't put anything in mode B. it's the connectivity kit that does that.

So you have used it as shown in the video tutorial and flashed a 78 and it plays backups/originals fine? Do tell...
Does this mean I can easilly use this feature on the program to use my flashed 47 in my new 360?


Yeahh..it is a very easy and a helpful application... But the connectivity kit V1 doesnt work..only with tha slax Cd- think M$ is a luser company.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

``Cannot read from drive``

OK right I just mixed those two up, but it sounds like the connectivity kit won't work for putting the 78 into ModeB with this method.  So the question is, can SLAX work via USB? Otherwise those of us who only have SATA->USB as an available method can't use this tool...or am I missing something...

Natively? I've read a bunch of the stuff talking about needing to boot with a Virtual PC, etc, etc, in order to get SLAX to recognize an Hitachi connected via SATA->USB, that's not necessary with SLAX 2?

(Just to make sure, I'm talking about the 360 DVD drive connected via SATA->USB, not SLAX on a USB stick  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) )

My vt6421L card works fine with Slax (I think)

I get a drive letter in XP, I suppose that means it worked?  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

The green light doesnt flash while in modeB with the 0078k right? Cuz mine is solid green.
