Glad to see that there are still active modding communities. I was given an Xbox many years ago and finally decided to see what it's capable of. In the past couple days, I was able to find out what revision board I have, what points to solder to make the TSOP writable, common issues to look out for, and how to softmod with only an IDE cable and computer. I have never experienced an Xbox before this week, but it seems quite capable. I also made my own component cables with advice I found here. I'm very impressed with the community and the xbox. I have not been able to work for a couple months so this has given me something that i can do to occupy time. Please let me know if anyone has suggestions for other ways I can mod the console for cheap or free.
