Xbox mod
Hoagie_one:
Very important to set the time immediately after having a softmodded box unplugged too long
SNAAKE:
you probly have a 1.6 xbox. these are harder to install than other xboxes cause you have to solder 5 extra wires in the back. attached diagram for duox2 chips. then you need to burn 512k bios on dvdr and flash the chip.
also,installing drives is easy. just replace the stock drive with a new one. burn "slayers 2.6 autoinstaller"(google) on dvdr and boot xbox from that, everything else is menu driven.
PS: if you are not up for the challange you can always hire me, pm if interested ;)
BobA:
No wiring on the back for the 1.6 chip and the duox2 now. It comes with a thin PC board that solders to the header and the wired points on the back of the Xbox MB. Makes the mod really easy. The LPC mod board comes with all the duox2 chips that I have received.

Thanks for the offer but I should be just fine. I rebuild pinball PCBs fairly regularly and there's nothing here half as complex. It's just a couple of jumpers and adding some header pins.

one note on xbox Live.
if you wish to connect to xbox live once the mod chip is installed, it is easy to disable the chip..however if you have already connected the xbox to xbox live, and then later change the hard drive, you will no longer be able to connect, even with the chip disabled. when you sign in, MS logs your mac address along with the serial # of your hard drive. if you connect later and you have a different hard drive, the serial # wont match the mac address and you will get banned.
