When i got me x-bit v1.5 chip i opened up my box and followed the no solder tutorial but as i was reassembling my xbox i noticed a ribbon cable that looked exactly like the cable from the xbox cd drive to the mother board( the small yellow one not the wide gray one) except that it has a red and a black wire that comes off the mother board plug and hooks into a port on my chip that also isnt shown in any of the tutorials. if you need a pic of the cord i might be able to get a pic up.
any info on this mysterious ribbon would be greatly appreciated <

I think that cable is for XBOX V1.5.  In order for the modchip to get power you need to plug that in on the modchip (only in XBOX V1.5) <

yes on 1.5 boxes you connect the end with the yellow/red/black to the DVD cable slot on the motherboard, then the yellow bundle goes to the DVD drive the red/black connector to the chip. <
