Spart Oct 06, 2002, 01:08 PM Got an xbox today, so I kinda answered my own question. no usb slot = no external hd hazzad66 Oct 06, 2002, 05:31 PM Well you can, but prob not in the way you mention. Mod instructions exist for mounting an external hdd(s) by utlising one of the IDE connections in the Xbox. Was a nifty mod to... HaZ Spart Oct 06, 2002, 07:10 PM cool, i'll have to look for that TheBrooster Oct 07, 2002, 10:42 AM Check this out: http://208.34.209.68/411gb/411gb.htm Spart Oct 07, 2002, 02:19 PM Yeah, Ive checked out that guide and the one from xbox-scene, but neither really help me. I dont really need a dock. I have a 40gb external HD. It has its own power source and connects via USB. hazzad66 Oct 07, 2002, 08:58 PM Yeah thats the one i was talking about...nifty idea.... haZ QWERTY Oct 08, 2002, 01:31 AM The Controller ports on the XBox are actually USB ports in a custom shape and with a extra wire for Light Guns. Theoretically you could build a controller port-to-USB port adapter. The problem is no XBox software exist that supports a USB harddrive so you would have to write your own. Secondly, the ports are usb v1.1 so the transfer speed would be too slow to effectively play games from. |
