That much has been made clear. What I want to know is if you use a SATA to IDE converter, using the 360 DVD in the xbox1, can it read the DVDs?
Doubtful. The drive firmware has to follow a standard that a PC could read. Its highly doubtful that MS included a drive that followed any known firmware standards.
SATA, IDE, SCSI...no converter will be able to help you get past the firmware. So unless we see someone pull the firmware bin off and fudges that or someone write a specific driver for the unit, don't expect too much out of the elementary hacks.
