I've been contributing to the Xbox Dev Wiki for a while, but just found out about this site. Good to see a bunch of people still interested in the classic Xbox! My interests mostly lie in emulator development, but I've been doing a lot of hardware work lately. Currently working on a replacement for the Super I/O debug board with a USB interface, CDC serial port, on-board LPC flash programmer, and SMBus controller.

Sweet! That sounds promising. Welcome!

I just followed this to a t. Everything looks great, however getting FRAG. Now, I'm just connecting all the components and trying to start up without being in the case. Should this still work? Or is it possible that not being in the case means it's not grounded properly?

I always remove 6th pin of the pinheader for 1.6 Xboxes. They have 5V active in standby. If you leave this pin, Aladdin's LED will light all the time when console is plugged in. I think it's annoying. I also never ground D0, it's better to solder it to modchip's D0 point. When modchip fails, with grounded D0 console will FRAG, whereas with D0 soldered to modchip, console will boot from motherboard's bios.
