| Here's some news we got from Team Xecuter(info) about their upcoming "Xbox360 HDD/Hitahci-DVD to PC USB Converter" with some exclusive pictures of the (working) pre-production PCB and the mock-up of the retail case. The product should hit the retail stores in about 4 weeks from what we've heard: Quote

Excellent work TeamXecuter! I can't wait to get my hands on one of these! If all that is claimed is true, this is truly an awesome tool! I just gave up on a compatible PCI SATA solutions for my Hitachi. This gives me a lot of hope!

Great news for the people (like me) who have applemacs with PPC processors. We could hopefully use this through Virtual PC.

I'd be careful, I didn't think Virtual PC worked with a USB device if Mac OS X didn't recognize it first.
There isn't any OS X burning software that does custom layer breaks? Which PC programs do this, Nero?

The reason I couldnt do it in macos already is cos you had to use a sata connection and do it in msdos or windows, virtualpc only emulates a cd drive but usb devices work as normal.
PC program that does the custom layerbreak is clonecd (so ive heard).

Would that mean you would wont have to put it in mode-b mode.
Also where can you buy that item from when it becomes on sale?
Thanks

Also, one more question that is not related to this release, would MS able to detect or care if I got on live with out plugging my dvd drive in and keeping the sata unplugged so I could shop around on Xbox Live Market place?
Awsome RELEASE

That is the IMPORTANT bit. Currently!! The device they were planning on using is so unbelievably flexible they can do ANYTHING they want with just a change of software/firmware.
Expect software updates shortly afterwards to support other makes of ODD.

X360 USB does not require the XBOX to be powered while in use. You can detach the Xbox 360 HDD & DVD and connect directly to your USB port (DVD Powered by Xecuter 360 Connectivity Kit). The X360 USB is the first and only device in the world that converts both the Xbox 360 HDD & DVD to USB"
What does it mean when they say DVD powered by Xecuter360 CK, does it mean we need to buy both the products to be able to successfully flash the Drive?
Thanks for any replies regarding this,
kashman.

The USB interface is just a data interface and does not provide power.

You can power the drive using the XBOX360. You then just have to have it near your computer while you perform the flashing.
I personally would have liked to see them combine the Xecuter360 CK AND this product into one single product.
I understand why TX have chosen not to. It did not make commercial sense nor add any functionality but it would have made for an more aesthetically pleasing product

Or will I need to open the 360 HDD case and get direct access to the 360 HDD?
Thanks for any information.

So it sounds like if I don't want to crack open the XBOX 360 HDD case, I should get Xecuter's earlier connector, the HDD to SATA connector?
Thanks,
Tethra
