Having followed the instructions here:
http://www.xbox-linux.org/wiki/USB_Storage_To_Xbox_Memory_Card_HOWTO

I have got my old 1GB USB stick set up and working with the Action
Replay software, & I've put the splinter cell exploit files on it (I'm
using Splinter Cell for my mods). When I've completed modding my other
boxes, I'll drop the files on for the other games as well, then this
stick will be a ready-made shortcut for doing a softmod using any of the
available game exploits...

I have an XBOX-to-USB adapter cable that I've borrowed from Stuart White
(Thanks Stuart!) so I'll be able to do my other 2 boxes pretty easily.
I'd still like to get my own USB cable sorted out though, as I don't
particularly fancy going down the road of doing the fitting of a proper
USB port to any of my boxes... - hardware mods are too much of a PITA
frankly.

Off to fleabay to search for some old wired controllers I guess...

Did you have any joy in town Noel? - I popped in to my local Game store
on Sunday, and was a little disappointed to see absolutely no original
xbox stuff whatsoever.. - nothing, nada.. - no preowned consoles, no
games no peripherals... It was as if it never existed...

Shame really, I would have liked to pick up a couple of wired
controllers, - I want to sacrifice one to make a USB adapter cable and
then set up my old surplus to requirements 1GB memory stick as an XBOX
memory device with all of the exploit files on there ready to use for
any future softmod effort. - once all my boxes are done, I wouldn't have
a huge need of this, so I'd be more than happy to share it round if I
can get it done...

I'd also like to pick up another DVD remote kit, and maybe even the
advanced scart cable for a superior video connection... - anyone know
anywhere that still stocks old original xbox gear? - I guess it must be
fairly rare by now...

I've got a chipped xbox but want to pick up a few more (going to town
tomorrow to get some!!) and soft mod them, i only want xbmc on there
and dont need to change hard drive so def easier than messing with
chips, only remaining mod then will be to do the IR power on mod to
them.

Cheers

Noel
