and also, abit of topic but does anything know what this file is? it wouldent happen to have anything to do with these would it? "Applied Microsystems Corp - V1 3 0 Build 553 - Xbox DVD Emulation.exe" "xbdvdemupanel"

'No' the emulation that you refer to has nothing to do with the Alpha Dev Kits.

...It relates to the App/Harware used for emulating the DVD drive whilst developing, using the Crystal Development Kit, coupled to a P.C via SCSI card/cable/interface.

I found out some new info about the Alphas that I thought might be useful to share.

Apparently, they do not run XBEs.  They only run XEs and currently there is no way to build an XE.  I was told that even with an Alpha Recovery disc they are still basically unusable since there is no way to write anything for them.

I realize that some of you probably already knew this, but since I didn't find out until today, some other people might not know either.

it sorta proves the xbox is kinda a pc, well especialy as them pics are showing the early days , i'd love to buy one, the case looks awsome wonder if thats a samsung 1616T drive?

Hmmmm, well it's only 'kinda a pc' if u want it to be 'kinda a pc'.

...All other times its an Xbox Development Kit with hardware and software exclusively specific to the task.

...Oh, and, 'no' the drive is not a Samsung its a Hitachi.

Hope this helps.
