I've been searching all day now and nothing has come up except for people's speculations on how to do it.

Flashing an Xbox 360 using a MacBook Pro, that's what I'm after. I've flashed dozens of 360s on my PC, which is obviously a piece of cake once you get the hang of it. However, I'm wondering if it's possible to flash one using my MacBook.

Does anyone here have a clue if it's possible and if so, what type of hardware would be needed?

Thanks in advance!

First of all it's mac, second of all it's a laptop. I really doubt you can flash anything with it seen as it has no IDE or SATA ports.

True that.

You can buy a pcmcia sata-card for a laptop, but Macbooks don't have a pcmcia slot, so bad luck there.
And I haven't seen any usb-sata adapters that work with either Dosflash or Jungleflasher.

I guess a cheap Pentium-133 laptop is better than a Macbook Pro in this case.

First of all, you can run XP/Vista/W7 on a Mac. Second of all, you have these things called USB adapters.

Thanks for the input though guys, I'd love to see some more speculation.
