If you mean as a memory card within normal retail Xbox games, then no. I guess it's possible that homebrew stuff could use such a device, but it would need to have special coding to do that - it wouldn't work 'out of the box'. Xbox Linux might work with one too, if it had the right drivers.

QUOTE (twangster @ Jun 20 2003, 04:42 PM)
From the Mega-X website they suggest that other USB Thumb drives may work but they will not provide support as they can not guarantee blah, blah, blah...

It must be 32MB - their s/w will only recognize 32MB drives.

Anyone tried it?

I have one Mega X key and they work fine, Like a memory card.

I can transfert savegame in msdashboard, and acces it with ftp.

But I can map it in XBMP

There is thread on the Mega-X forum that lists the USB drives that will work:

"In any event, these brands work:
FMI
Fujitsu
PQ
CompUSA brand (which is really just a rebadged FMI brand)
