[Cialug] More on the XBox

[Jeff Chapin]

I recently picked up a slightly defective xbox (wont read DVDS, will read
CDs) at a garage sale cheap, that I am interested in installing Linux on (
looking at a mythtv frontend).

I have not played with xboxes much, and it appears that the number of mod
chips is pretty high.

Anyone have any experience with the modification of an xbox? Or perhaps have
the game/memory card needed to do a softmod?

Odds are I will not be able to make the software freedom day event, but
would be interesting in buying/renting the needed supplies and all advice on
hardware I can get.

Thanks,

Jeff
