Hi folks,
I know what you're gonna say. And you're probably right... but...
I've just dropped about £50 (inc delivery) on a ZALMAN ZM-VE200 SE...
This is a hard drive caddy, USB powered, with eSATA data connection, that will spoof as an optical drive, and let you mount .iso files stored on an internal SATA drive.
It was probably a waste of money, and my 2TB drive is perfectly happy... BUT I wanna give it a go!
Hardmodded, running EvoX m8+ (with LBA48 and F&G).
eSATA to sata (HDD gender not mobo gender) cable ordered.
Gonna use a SATA to IDE adapter (with a SLAVE switch).
Gonna try leaving the OGXbox DVD drive in place (with a Xbox disc in the drive, just disconnect the IDE), and connecting the IDE to the Zalman (via the eSATA to SATA, SATA to IDE SLAVE adapter - yuk!)
I'm gonna power the SATA to IDE adapter via a molex splitter, and power the ZALMAN via an external USB brick.
It probably won't work, but... it... might????????
What's your thoughts anyone?
Wish me luck - I'll report back in a couple of months when all the cables and crap arrive from China into brexit-bound UK and when I get a couple of hours away from real life to mess around with it all...
Hi, i purchased a faulty 1.6 xbox which was modded with xecuter 3 and the front control panel, the xbox was powering up but no sign of life on the chip or front panel, upon inspection the lpc rebuild board wasnt installed straight, it seemed to be slightly skew, i didnt really have the proper kit to remove and reseat the lpc rebuild board so i desoldered everything else and re-installed it all into a 1.4 so no need for the lpc board, i now have signs of life on the chip (chip lights up blue) and the front control panel (logo lights red and hdd activity light blinks) however i cant get the chip to enable, ive tried the bank switches in various positions, short press, long press, if i try pressing eject and power together the xbox frags once then powers up normally but the logo light is always red, ive retried all my solder points on the lpc / d0 but to no avail, anyone have any ideas anything else i could try? thanks
