Have a spare old hitachi kicking about was looking into using the 0800 firmware on it, but haven't found much. Did this ever see the light of day ??

lol some of you may laugh but recently ive been buying RROD, E74 and other broken xbox's and fixing them and selling them for basically the amount i payed for them*its more about giving me something to do than to make money* but the kicker is every one of them has been a Hitachi 79 or 47.....Thats over 20 randomly bought xbox's with a Hitachi in them....
Coincidence i guess, fixed them up and they have been running for days no issue*I do checks to see if they can be used for longer periods of time just so they wont break in the first hours of play*
well all in all i dont think they are bad at all, other than the fact that the motherboard they sit on sucks.

Well as off topic as it is the motherboards screw up from being repeatedly heated then cooled.  So leaving on for days doesn't do much

O and in I don't think it's physically possible todo that bc hitachis can't extract security sectors I believe
