i just set up the phoenix bios loader 1.3 on my new xbox and it worked perfectly. Only problem was that when i unplugged it and brought it over to my friends house it had the reboot looping problem due to the clock. I thought the newest bigfonts were supposed to have fixed this but I am 100% positive that I have the newest files. I was able tho to correct it by following the advice of another post in this forum and putting an audio cd in the drive, connecting the LAN, and letting it reboot over and over until it eventually loaded evox. From that point on everything was ok but i just found it wierd.
just thought i'd post this to see for sure if the new big fonts are supposed to have fixed this problem and see if anyone else encountered this with the latest files.
